His sudden death during the 1897 VFL season was considered a severe loss to football.[2] CareerVFA yearsBorn in 1867, McKay played originally for the South Ballarat Football Club.[3] He began at South Melbourne in 1886 and became a leading member of the team.[4] Regarded as one of the best all-round players in the colony, McKay was a regular Victorian representative in intercolonial matches.[4] A forward, he was the competition's leading goal-kicker in the 1888 VFA season, credited with either 49 or 50 goals depending on the source.[5] South Melbourne were premiers that season, the first of three successive premierships McKay was part of.[5] In 1892 he went over to Richmond, but returned to South Melbourne after two seasons.[6][7] In the 1896 VFA season he played in the premiership play-off against Collingwood, which is retrospectively treated as Victoria's first grand final. Collingwood won by one goal, and McKay with two goals was the game's only multiple goal-kicker.[8] 1897 VFL seasonThe following year, South Melbourne were a foundation club in the inaugural VFL season.[9] McKay has the distinction of kicking South Melbourne's first VFL goal, which came late in the second quarter of their opening round loss to Melbourne at Lake Oval, with a snap shot at goal that bounced through.[3] In round seven, against Fitzroy, he kicked two goals in a game which finished in the VFL's first ever draw.[10] His 14 goals in 1897 included three on both matches against Carlton, and were enough to be South Melbourne's leading goal-kicker.[11] As South Melbourne failed the make the finals, McKay's season ended in round 14, a one-point win over Fitzroy at Lake Oval on 7 August, which was his 14th VFL appearance, having not missed a game all year.[3] DeathOn 17 August 1897, at the age of 29, McKay died at Melbourne Hospital, where he had gone with an internal complaint.[4] He had suffered a burst appendix and died from peritonitis.[3] His death was not, as was believed for many years, the result of an on-field injury.[12] His funeral was one of the largest to have been held in the South Melbourne area, attended by representatives from all of the league, VFA and leading junior clubs.[13] Nearly 150 vehicles were in the cortege and it was written that the funeral took close to 30 minutes to pass any given point.[13][14] He had been married with two children, the eldest three and a half years old, the youngest 18 months.[15] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Holmesby|first=Russell|last2=Main|first2=Jim|title=The Encyclopedia Of AFL Footballers| publisher=BAS Publishing|year=2007|isbn=9781920910785}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article138626587 |title=Football Notes. |newspaper=The Australasian |location=Melbourne |date=21 August 1897 |page=19}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|last=Main|first=Jim|authorlink=Jim Main|title=In The Blood: South Melbourne – Sydney Swans Football Club|publisher=Bas Publishing|location=Seaford, Victoria|isbn=9781921496011}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=it5jAAAAIBAJ&sjid=YZEDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2324%2C6098329|title=Death of Well-Known Footballer|date=19 August 1897 |work=The Age |page=5 |location=Melbourne |accessdate=6 June 2015}} 5. ^1 {{cite book|last=Fiddian|first=Marc|title=The VFA – A History of the Victorian Football Association 1877 – 1995|year=2013|publisher=Melbourne Sports Books|page=}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article22769664 |title=Richmond—Tigers By Name and Nature. |newspaper=The Argus Week-End Magazine|location=Melbourne |date=6 August 1949 |accessdate=6 June 2015 |page=2|publisher=National Library of Australia}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article108474023 |title=Football. |newspaper=Record (Emerald Hill) |location=Vic. |date=5 May 1894 |accessdate=6 June 2015 |page=3 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://australianfootball.com/articles/view/A+new+football+power+emerges+-+1896+VFA+Premiership+Play-Off%3A+Collingwood+vs.+South+Melbourne/64|title=A new football power emerges – 1896 VFA Premiership Play-Off: Collingwood vs. South Melbourne|publisher=Australian Football|accessdate=6 June 2015}} 9. ^{{cite book|editor=Ross, John|title=100 Years of Australian Football 1897–1996: The Complete Story of the AFL|publisher=Viking|location=Ringwood|year=1996|ISBN=0-670-86814-0|page=96}} 10. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article9179469 |title=A Drawn Game. |newspaper=The Argus |location=Melbourne |date=23 June 1897 |accessdate=6 June 2015 |page=4 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 11. ^{{cite book|last=Lovett, Michael|title=AFL 2004 – The Official Statistical History Of The AFL| publisher=AFL Publishing|year=2004|isbn=0-9580300-5-7}} 12. ^{{cite book|last=Main|first=Jim|authorlink=Jim Main|title=AFL Record|volume=Round 4, 2010|chapter=Medical Advances: The Witto tragedy}} 13. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article108482829 |title=Denis M'Kay's Funeral. |newspaper=Record (Emerald Hill) |location=Vic. |date=28 August 1897 |accessdate=6 June 2015 |page=2 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 14. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article9170425 |title=A Footballer's Funeral. |newspaper=The Argus |location=Melbourne |date=23 August 1897 |accessdate=6 June 2015 |page=5 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 15. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article108482808 |title=The Record. |newspaper=Record (Emerald Hill) |location=Vic. |date=21 August 1897 |accessdate=6 June 2015 |page=2 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} External links{{Commons category}}
