Kevin Curran (footballer, born 1920)

Kevin Stanley Curran[2] (10 December 1920 – 20 April 1978)[3] was an Australian rules footballer who played for Hawthorn in the VFL during the 1940s.

A rover, he made his debut in a game against Fitzroy but internal disputes over his selection ensured that it would be the only time he appeared in the season.

In 1946 he made a return to Hawthorn and the following season represented Victoria at the Hobart Carnival, the first on 9 interstate appearances during his career.

He won Hawthorn's best and fairest award in 1948, also winning the Simpson Medal for his performance against West Australian in an interstate game.

He helped recruit local Bendigo boys Graham Arthur, Brendan Edwards and Des Dickson to Hawthorn.
