Peter McKenna

Who is Peter McKenna?

Peter McKenna is a former Australian rules footballer who represented Collingwood and Carlton in the Victorian Football League during the 1960s and 1970s. He also represented Devonport in the North West Football Union, and Northcote, Port Melbourne and Geelong West in the Victorian Football Association.

Regarded as one of the best full-forwards to ever play the game, McKenna holds the record for the longest sequence of matches in which he scored at least one goal: 120 matches. A mop-top hairstyle, genial grin and a gift for taking chest high marks won McKenna adulation in the 1960s and 1970s as the game's first multimedia star. He continued his involvement in the game as a commentator with the Seven Network during the 1980s and 1990s.
