Stats
Bio
Recruited from local pathway Carlton District and the Old Paradians, Kevin Bergin was a diminutive but sharp-shooting forward pocket who showed early promise at Princes Park in the mid-1950s. Standing just 175cm, he possessed a keen goal sense, booting 12 majors in his 12 senior appearances for the Blues across two seasons. Despite this solid strike rate, Bergin made the rare cross to arch-rivals Collingwood for the 1957 season, where he added another five games and four goals to his tally. Unable to cement a permanent spot in the Magpies' senior 18, he spent time in the reserves before his brief but notable VFL career—distinguished by his representation of two of the league's fiercest enemies—came to a close.
