Bio
Recruited from Claremont in the WAFL, Kevin Worthington arrived at Victoria Park as a mature-age recruit in 1977 and immediately bolstered the Magpies' defensive stocks. A versatile key position player, he was primarily deployed as a full-back or centre half-back but possessed the athleticism to pinch-hit in the ruck or swing forward when required. His standing within the club was cemented in 1979 when he won the Copeland Trophy as Collingwood's best and fairest, highlighting his consistency and aerial strength during the intense Tom Hafey era. Worthington was a central figure during a period of agonizing near-misses for the club, playing in five Grand Finals—including the famous 1977 draw and replay—without securing a premiership before returning to Western Australia at the end of 1982.
