Ken Albiston

Kenneth Ian Albiston was an Australian rules footballer who played in the Victorian Football League for Richmond and later Melbourne. Born on 11 November 1926 and died on 20 June 2018, he was the younger brother of two other league players, Alec Albiston of Hawthorn and Harold Albiston of Collingwood. He spent six seasons with Richmond before moving to Melbourne, and he played in Melbourne's loss to Footscray in the 1954 Grand Final. Unusually for players of his era he could kick with both feet, having taught himself to kick left-footed while recovering from a right foot injury. Before his football career he served seven months in the Royal Australian Air Force in the final year of the Second World War.
