Kevin Coghlan

Kevin "Skeeter" Coghlan (14 October 1929 – 22 August 2002) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood and Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Coghlan, said to have been the smallest player of his era, earned his nickname of "Skeeter" when during a junior high jump competition he successfully made it over a target which was three inches above his height. Not surprisingly, Coghlan played his football as a rover. He won a Gardiner Medal in 1949 for his efforts in the league seconds.

He took a while he establish himself in the Collingwood senior side, with just four appearances from his first two seasons. Over the next two years however he played 27 games. His tally of 19 goals in 1953 remains the lowest ever total to top the Hawthorn goal-kicking.
