His last game of football was in the 1926 finals series where Essendon fell a goal short of qualifying for the Grand Final and May ended up with a suspension for striking Bob Corbett of Melbourne. <br /> <br /> He was non-playing coach of Essendon in 1934 and 1935 and in his later years remained involved with the club as a trainer. <br /> <br /> May became South Australia&#039;s first full-time football coach when he coached Glenelg Football Club 1955 to 1957, finishing 6th, 6th and 7th.<br /> <br /> He was the father of double Essendon premiership player Wally May (famous in his media days as a &quot;special comments&quot; man). Wally played with Sturt in the mid-1950&#039;s and in 1956 was Captain Coach of Sturt - thus creating the unusual situation of father and son coaching against each other.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> 1.
