Trevor Barker (7 October 1956 – 25 April 1996) was an Australian rules footballer with the St Kilda Football Club in the league now known as the Australian Football League (then called the Victorian Football League).〔 Barker was in many ways a shining light during a particularly tough time on and off the field for St Kilda in the 1970s and 1980s. While Barker was seen by many to be the glamour boy of the St Kilda team, he was the heart and soul of a club that reached some dark times throughout his career. ==VFL Career 1975-1989== Barker was Recruited from Cheltenham Football Club in 1975.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cheltenham FC – VFL/AFL Players – Trevor Barker )〕 He made his debut wearing number 25 against Hawthorn in Round 2 on 12 April 1975.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St Kilda – All Time Player List – Trevor Barker )〕 He changed to his iconic number 1 in 1977, and was selected to represent Victoria at interstate level. He would go on to represent Victoria seven times. Barker won St Kilda's best and fairest award in 1976 and 1981. Barker played during an era of little club success, which included St Kilda being wooden spooners in 1977, 1979, 1983–86, and 1988. Barker was captain of the St Kilda Football Club from 1983 to 1986.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St Kilda Football Club Official website – History – Honour Roll )〕 Barker was a regular feature on the VFL highlight reel with his spectacular high-marking punctuated by his courageous approach to the ball. Barker is (as of 2013) one of only five players in the AFL/VFL to play 200 games or more without playing a final (the other four are Steve Smith and Gary Hardeman of , teammate Geoff Cunningham and Ted Pool of ). As he got older he would regularly miss games through chronic injury until he retired after the 1989 sesson. Many football experts noted that Barker could have easily fitted in to the powerhouse teams of the competition and there were plays for his services but his loyalty never wavered and he stuck with the club throughout his entire career. 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「Trevor Barker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
