Bernie Quinlan

Bernie Quinlan, in full Bernard Francis Quinlan, was born on 21 July 1951 and is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Footscray Football Club and the Fitzroy Football Club in the Victorian Football League. One of a handful of players to have won both a Brownlow Medal and a Coleman Medal, he was an inaugural inductee in the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 1996 and was nicknamed Superboot for his long kicking. He played his best football late in his career, earning most of his individual accolades after turning thirty. He holds the record for the most career games without playing in a Grand Final, played 150 or more games at two separate clubs, and is the only player in VFL and AFL history to have kicked 100 goals in a season twice, played more than 300 games and won a Brownlow Medal.
