STUART TROTT played 159 games for the St Kilda Football Club between 1967-1974, including the 1971 GF loss to Hawthorn, and winning the 1972 B&F, before being inducted into the St Kilda FC Hall of Fame in 2016.
But his biggest legacy might just be off the footy field, identifying & recruiting a future Saints legend while on a WA scouting trip who he then convinced to wear the same number - #7.

Incredible luck that he even went to the game early and saw the ressies and Nicky just happened to be playing and obviously dominating!

Stuart Trott was absolutely blitzing the Hawks in the '71 GF.
If that thug Matthews had not ironed him out with an elbow, that year would have been flag #2.
