Stats
Bio
Recruited from Western Districts in the QAFL, Col Kimmorley was a pioneering Queenslander who arrived at Victoria Park with significant promise, having already represented his state in 1974 and 1975. Standing 188cm, he was a versatile utility who earned his VFL opportunity during Collingwood's disastrous 1976 campaign, a season that saw the club claim the wooden spoon. Kimmorley made his debut in Round 13 against South Melbourne and played four matches, booting his solitary goal against Hawthorn at Princes Park. However, his stint in the elite competition was cruelly cut short by a severe knee injury requiring reconstruction; unable to force his way back into the senior side, he eventually returned to Queensland to continue his football career.
