About Cyril Gambetta
- Cyril Leonard Gambetta (1 August 1899 – 20 August 1974) was an Italian-Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
- Due to having suffered from polio as a child he had badly bowed legs which gave him an awkward running style. Gambetta came to Melbourne from Sandhurst in Bendigo at the start of the 1921 season.
- After being refused a clearance to St Kilda, he joined Hawthorn Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) where he played as a forward.
- The next season, he joined St Kilda where he spent most of his time as a key position defender and was twice chosen to represent Victoria at interstate football.
- He won St Kilda's best player award in 1925 and finished equal sixth in the 1928 Brownlow Medal.
