Kevin James Worthington (born 25 May 1953) is a former Australian rules footballer who was q prominent player at Claremont in the WAFL and Collingwood in the VFL, during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
At Collingwood for the following three seasons, he was used by coach Tom Hafey as a fullback or back pocket, and participated in losing 1977 and 1979 Grand Final teams.
He also played four interstate games for Western Australia over the course of his career, including the inaugural State of Origin encounter against Victoria.
After two unsuccessful years under little-known former South Fremantle player Robert Solin, Worthington took the reins at East Perth and steered them as far as their first grand final in nineteen seasons.
However, the following three years were progressively less successful and at the end of a 1999 season that saw the Royals ahead only of a winless Peel Thunder, he was unceremoniously sacked[1] to be replaced by Tony Micale.
