Austin Christopher Robertson (29 April 1943 – 23 August 2023) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Шаблон:AFL SM in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and Шаблон:WAFL Sub in the Western Australian National Football League (WANFL). He was the son of South Melbourne player Austin Robertson senior.
Robertson was a full forward, and by the time he retired in 1974 he had amassed a WANFL record goal tally of 1211 goals, as well as topping the WANFL goalkicking a record eight times (previous best of six by George Doig and Bernie Naylor)[1] and kicked over 100 goals in a season six times.[2][3][4][5]
Robertson was a premiership player with Subiaco in 1973, the only Grand Final of his career.
While playing for Subiaco he averaged 4.82 goals a game, being held goalless in a match only five times, two of which were in his final season when he was affected by injury[6] and in 1968, kicked 162 goals. He spent a season with his father's club Шаблон:AFL SM in 1966, kicking 60 goals in 18 games, which won the club's goalkicking for the year.[3]
Overall, Robertson kicked 1271 goals in his career, the fourth highest total in elite Australian rules football history. Robertson also kicked 44 goals in ten interstate football matches for Western Australia; if these are included, Robertson kicked 1315 goals in his senior career, the fifth highest total in Australian rules elite football history.
After his football career ended, Robertson was employed by businessman Kerry Packer and was one of the central figures in the establishment of World Series Cricket in 1977. Robertson subsequently managed many of Australia's leading cricketers over a period of 30 years, including Shane Warne.[7]
Robertson was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2015.[8]
Austin Robertson Jr. died on 23 August 2023, at the age of 80.[9]
