Bio
A local product recruited from North Geelong, Gordon Hynes experienced the ultimate high early in his career, transitioning from the club’s 1962 Under-19s premiership side directly into senior glory. In a fairy-tale debut season, the dangerous forward pocket and rover saved his best for the biggest stage, booting three goals in the 1963 Grand Final victory over Hawthorn to finish as the Cats' equal-leading goalkicker on the day. While he remained a handy contributor around goal, Hynes never quite recaptured the dizzying heights of that rookie campaign and retired from VFL level at just 24 years of age. He subsequently cemented his legacy as a titan of regional football, coaching North Shore to a dynasty of local premierships before returning to the Cats off-field as a chairman of selectors and assistant coach in the 1980s.
