Shane Zantuck (born 20 May 1955) is a former

Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Zantuck made his name as a running winger, before reverting to a role in defence.[1] He began his career at North, playing just five games from 1974 to 1976. He then moved to South Melbourne for four seasons (1977–1980), playing 56 games. But it was at Melbourne that he made a name for himself, playing 88 games between 1981 and 1986, before retiring. He is well known for a famous outburst in 1984 (Round 14) with Melbourne coach Ron Barassi.[1]
