Bio
Recruited from the small northern Victorian town of Picola, David McKenzie was a skilled rover who made a brief appearance at VFL level with Fitzroy in 1964. Although his tenure with the Lions was limited to just two games and a single goal, he returned to the bush to forge a reputation as a genuine legend of country football. McKenzie played a staggering 406 games for Picola, dominating the local competition to win nine club best and fairest awards and four Pearce Medals as the league's best player. His contribution extended well beyond his playing days, as he served as president of the Picola & District Football League for nearly three decades and later became mayor of the Moira Shire, cementing his status as a distinguished administrator in regional Victoria.
