Edwin "Ted" Wildie (30 January 1906 – 14 October 1987) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Career

Wildie was a locally recruited player, from Port CYMS.[2] Beginning in the South Melbourne second eighteen, Wildie played a VFL seconds grand final in 1927, which South Melbourne lost to Carlton.[3]

In the 1929 VFL season he got his opportunity when he came into the side for South Melbourne's round eight fixture.[4] A defender, he showed promise on debut and remained in the team for the remainder of the season, for a total of 11 games.[2][5] He was described as having a great dash from the back pocket.[6]

The following year he found himself back in the South Melbourne seconds and didn't feature again in the seniors.[7]
