Four-time premiership coach Kevin Sheedy has been named an Immortal of the Essendon Football Club at Saturday night’s function to celebrate the club’s 150th anniversary.
Sheedy coached the club to premierships in 1984, 1985, 1993 and 2000 and coached teams into the finals in 19 of his 27 years. He finished his 634-game coaching career with a winning percentage of 61.36. “Kevin’s passion, dedication, determined and pride in expanding Essendon from a suburban to truly national sporting organisation has helped ensure the Essendon Football Club will remain a preeminent club long into the future,” Brasher said.
“We particularly acknowledge Kevin’s contribution in winning four VFL/AFL premierships as a coach, as well as his significant role in establishing annual marquee matches including Anzac Day, Dreamtime and the Country Festival games,” Brasher said.
