BIOGRAPHY
Kevin was a strong, solidly-built player who played at centre-half-back during his time with Richmond. A rugged, no-frills type of player he never gave his opponents any latitude. He played with Richmond between 1964 and 1966 winning the Best First Year Player award in 1964. He was a strong, high mark and a long kick, ideally suited to the Richmond style of play at that time. He returned to Myrtleford in 1967 and remained there until 1975. In country football he played mainly as a forward. Kevin played almost 400 games of football during his 22 year career.
