Brett "Bert" Edward Kenny (born 16 March 1961) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1980s and 1990s.
He was a centre and five-eighth for the Australian national team and New South Wales Blues representative sides, and the Parramatta Eels.
[4] Kenny made his first grade debut for Parramatta in round 14 of the 1980 season against South Sydney coming off the bench in a 28–12 loss at Redfern Oval.
in front of 100,000 fans at Wembley, Kenny led Wigan to a gripping 28–24 win, capturing the Lance Todd Trophy as man of the match.
The image of Kenny, hands stuffed into the pockets of his tracktop and calmly wandering about the pitch after the pre-match presentations, has become an enduring legacy of his grace under pressure.
In 1986, Kenny claimed his fourth premiership as a player when Parramatta defeated Canterbury in the grand final 4–2 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
[9] Also in 2006, Kenny coached the Penrith Panthers Jersey Flegg side which won the premiership, defeating Newcastle in the grand final, but was terminated from his position afterwards.
