Bio
Recruited from Coragulac in the rich footballing district of Colac, John Brown arrived at Kardinia Park during one of the club's most formidable eras. Standing 179cm, the medium-sized utility faced the difficult task of cementing a spot in a Geelong lineup that was marching toward the 1967 premiership. He managed to break into the senior side for five games that season, kicking a solitary goal, but found himself as a depth player in a squad anchored by legends like Polly Farmer and Doug Wade. Unable to hold his place for the finals series, Brown’s brief VFL career served as a cameo in a historic year for the Cats before he departed the league.
