Bio
Recruited from Violet Town in country Victoria, Kevin Hogan was a classy rover who carved out a respectable VFL career with South Melbourne during the 1950s. Joining the club as a teenager, he played alongside future legends like Bob Skilton and was a member of the Swans' 1956 Night Series premiership side. After seven seasons and 63 games at the Lake Oval, Hogan moved to the Latrobe Valley to captain-coach Sale, a decision that sparked a lifelong contribution to Gippsland sport. While a talented footballer, his enduring legacy came off the field as a tireless local journalist and radio broadcaster for over 50 years, a commitment that eventually saw him awarded an OAM for his services to cricket and football.
