:''Not to be confused with teammate Jack Shelton.'' John Frederick "Jack" Shelton (29 January 1903 - 8 March 1983)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jack Shelton - Player Bio )〕 was an Australian rules footballer who played for the St Kilda Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL). From Koo Wee Rup, in southeast Victoria, he played for St Kilda from 1925–1928.〔 His brother, James P. Shelton also played three senior games with St Kilda, two at the end of 1921, and one in round eight 1922.〔〔(VFL Statistics: Jim Shelton )〕 A forward, he was St Kilda's leading goalkicker for three consecutive seasons in 1925, 1926 and 1927.〔 He also represented Victoria four times.〔 ==Tribunal== On Saturday, 7 August 1926, as the extensive contemporary newspaper reports attest, Shelton was involved in an act of violence directed at Geelong's full-back Arthur Rayson (who also worked as the caretaker at the Corio Oval), through which Rayson received broken ribs, amongst other injuries. The spectators' response to Rayson's injury, specifically directed at Shelton was such that Shelton required police protection from attacks with fence pickets.〔(Football Sensations: Disgraceful Scenes: Police Intervention at Geelong, ''The Argus'', (Monday, 9 August 1926), p.11. )〕〔(Football: Topical and Personal: Melee at a Melbourne Match, ''The (Adelaide) Advertiser'', (Friday, 13 August 1926), p.25. )〕〔(Brawl at Geelong: Players and Spectators Fight: Picket Used in Melee, ''The Age'', (Monday, 9 August 1926), p.7. )〕〔(A Spiteful Game, ''The Argus'', (Monday, 9 August 1926), p.16. )〕〔(St Kilda Outplayed, ''The Age'', (Monday, 9 August 1926), p.7. )〕〔It is important to note that Main and Allen, (2002, p.336) have, along with Feldman and Holmesby (1992), become confused between this "Jack Shelton" (John Frederick "Jack" Shelton), and the other St Kilda "Jack Shelton" (John Thomas "Jack" Shelton). They have mistakenly stated that it was the second Jack Shelton involved in this incident; when, in fact, not only was it most definitely ''this'' jack Shelton who was involved, but also a plain fact that the second Jack Shelton did not play in that St Kilda team, against Geelong, on that day,at all.()〕 In his last season (1928), he was charged with attempting to kick Essendon's Tom Clarke in the ankle, during the eighth round match at Windy Hill on 4 June 1928. Given the possibility that Shelton might have been kicking at the ball, rather than either intending to kick Clarke in the ankle or mis-timing a trip, the tribunal found that the charge had not been sustained.〔(Football: Charges Against Players: Wittman and Shelton Absolved, ''The Argus'', (Friday 8 June 1928), p.6. )〕 On 4 August 1928, during a torrid match against Carlton, at the Junction Oval,〔(Football: Desperate Encounter: St. Kilda Succeeds, ''The Argus'', (Monday, 6 August 1928), p.6. )〕 Shelton was reported for striking Carlton's Ray Brew in the third quarter; the tribunal sustained the charge and Shelton was suspended for eight matches.〔(Football: Football Offence: J. Shelton Disqualified, The Argus'', (Friday, 10 August 1928), p.5. )〕 He did not play senior VFL football again. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John F. Shelton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
