Who is Brian Brown?
Brian Brown is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy and Essendon in the Victorian Football League.
Brown, who often played in the back pocket, struggled with injuries while at Fitzroy but put together 15 games in 1977 and 19 games in 1978. He missed the entire 1980 season through injury but returned in 1981 to add a further seven games and during the year bring up his 50th VFL game. This would later prove crucial as the Brisbane Lions were able to sign his son Jonathan under the Father-Son Rule in 1999.
He spent the 1982 VFL season at Essendon and then signed with Coburg, where he played in 1983. From 1984 to 1986, Brown captain-coached Colac in the Hampden Football League. He continued on in 1987 as a player and was the league's 'Best and Fairest' winner.
Brown now is a teacher at Emmanuel College, Warrnambool. He is currently one of two deputy principals.
