Kim Kershaw (born 25 January 1959) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond and Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Kershaw grew up in Wagga Wagga and started his VFL career at South Melbourne, but only got as high as reserve level.[2] He was swapped by South Melbourne for Richmond rover Jon Hummel.[2] In 1979 and 1980 he played a total of five senior games for Richmond, as a ruckman.[3][4] He was traded to Hawthorn during the 1981 VFL season, along with a transfer fee, in return for veteran Alan Martello.[5] His only league appearance for Hawthorn that year came when in round 17, when ruckman Don Scott was unavailable.[3] Scott retired at the end of the season, but Hawthorn then recruited Michael Byrne and Kershaw only played three games in 1982.[3]
