Robert Mackay Keddie (born 10 May 1946) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and West Adelaide, South Adelaide and Glenelg in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). ==Career== Keddie made his debut for Hawthorn in 1965 and in the subsequent seasons became a highly effective half forward flanker for the club. He was Hawthorn's Best & Fairest winner in 1967 and 1969 and for his performances at the 1969 Adelaide Carnival for Victoria he earned All Australian selection. In 1967 Keddie was selected in the first Australian Team to tour Ireland and the USA to play Gaelic Football. During the 1970 VFL season Keddie kicked 47 goals for the year. He was overshadowed however by teammate Peter Hudson who kicked 146 goals. In the 1971 VFL Grand Final against St Kilda, Hawthorn were down by 20 points when Keddie was pushed to Full Forward (and Hudson to Centre Half Forward). They went on to win the game by seven points with Keddie kicking four final quarter goals and gaining hero status. Interestingly, in the week prior a Church billboard in the teams' eponymous home suburb carried the question ''"What would you do if Christ came to Hawthorn?"'', to which some wag had added ''"Move Peter Hudson to Centre Half-Forward"''. Thus Hawthorn fans regarded this move, when it actually happened during the game, as a good omen and Bob Keddie as a sort of saviour. Keddie worked as a Physical Education teacher in the Victorian State School system at Belle Vue State school and is responsible for a strong cadre of "Hawks" from that generation. Keddie left Hawthorn at the end of the 1972 VFL season and became captain and coach of West Adelaide. Keddie played 18 games, kicking 14 goals and winning The Bloods Best & Fairest before moving on to South Adelaide as captain in 1974, playing 53 games, kicking 71 goals and winning South's Best and Fairest in 1975. In 1977 Keddie played a final season with Glenelg, playing seven games and kicking two goals. During this time Keddie also played five games for South Australiaagainst Victoria (3), Western Australia (1) and Tasmania (1), kicking four goals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bob Keddie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
