Laurie Kennedy is a fine example of local young players from the East Perth Junior Council who became league players and gave great service to the East Perth Football Club and the broader football community.
Laurie commenced his junior playing career with the Bedford Park Junior Football Club in 1952 in the under 15s and won the club’s fairest and best in that grade. He was also selected as a member of the victorious 1952 State Schoolboys and captained the side the following year in Brisbane.
In 1954 aged 16, Laurie won the Inglewood-Bedford JFC under 18 Club Fairest and Best and was Vice-Captain of the East Perth inter-district premiership team.
At the start of the 1956 season aged 17 and encouraged by good mates Kevin McGill and Graham Farmer, he attended East Perth’s pre-season training and was selected to play in the reserves team. His first league game soon followed on June 30 at Perth Oval against Subiaco.
From that time onwards he became a regular League player and had only just turned 18 when he played in the 1956 premiership team. Laurie went on to play 213 League games over a period of 12 years including seven grand finals – 1956, 57, 58, 59, 1960, 61 and 1967. Three of these resulted in premierships.
After retiring as a player Laurie gave a significant amount of his time and effort in assisting the club and district in various capacities including as an assistant coach, board member, club president and junior district tribunal chairman.
Congratulations Laurie on this well deserved recognition.
