Bio
Hailing from Gapsted in the Ovens Valley region of country Victoria, Ken Onley was a teenage recruit who earned a brief opportunity with Hawthorn during the 1934 season. Standing 175cm, he was a small utility who broke into the senior side for three games and managed to boot a goal in his short stint with the Mayblooms. While his VFL career was limited to that single season, Onley left a lasting legacy through his military service during World War II, where he was Mentioned in Despatches in 1945 for distinguished service in the South-West Pacific operations.
