1937-2012

It is with great sadness that the Glenelg Football Club wishes to inform supporters that Harry Kernahan passed away today.

As a ruckman, Harry Kernahan first won over Tiger fans in 1959. Kernahan played 176 games and kicked 149 goals for Glenelg between 1959-65 and 1969-71. He was captain in 1964 and 1965, and played 10 State games.

Kernahan, one of the greats of Glenelg, was awarded Life Member in 1971, and was inducted into the Inaugural Glenelg Football Club Hall of Fame.  Kernahan was the club’s general manager through its most successful years from 1973-1987. During this time, Glenelg won three of its four premierships and the next generation of Kernahan stars emerged in sons Gary, Stephen and David.

The Glenelg Football Club offer our sincere condolences to the Kernahan family for the sad loss of a true champion.
