Football edit
Fitzroy (VFL) edit
A defender, Hayes came to Fitzroy from Warracknabeal.[2] Hayes captained Fitzroy for most of the 1966 VFL season, replacing Ralph Rogerson, who retired five rounds into the year.[3]
On 6 July 1963, playing as first rover, he was a member of the young and inexperienced Fitzroy team that comprehensively and unexpectedly defeated Geelong, 9.13 (67) to 3.13 (31) in the 1963 Miracle Match.
Yarrawonga edit
He then moved to Yarrawonga, a club which he would captain-coach.[4]
