A tribute to the late rev ken newton
Ken Newton (17 April 1924 – 3 November 2006) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Essendon and Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Newton was recruited locally to Essendon and played as a reserve in their 1947 Grand Final loss to Carlton. He kicked five goals in a game at Princes Park against the same opponents the following season. Newton often struggled to make the seniors in what was a strong Essendon side so during the 1950 season crossed to Hawthorn.
