Bill Heatley (footballer)

Bill Heatley (13 March 1886 – 31 August 1948) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

[1] Heatley was born William Kennedy, the son of the then unmarried Catherine Kennedy (1867–1899);[2] and, when she married William Peter Heatley (1862–1936),[3][4] in 1890, he took his step-father's surname of Heatley.

On 1 May 1908, he was granted a clearance from the Commonwealth Football Club, in Zeehan, Western Tasmania, to Collingwood.

Having played his final two senior matches for Collingwood (on 6 and 20 May 1911), he transferred to Brighton in the Victorian Football Association in late June 1911,[7] but only played five games for them before his senior football career ended.
