Kevin Sheedy is a legend of the Australian Football League. A player and coach for over five decades, he has an unsurpassed record of involvement in 1,000 games including eight premierships. 

In 1996, in an effort to highlight the sacrifices made by our service personnel, Kevin initiated the ANZAC Day Match between the Essendon and Collingwood AFL Clubs. He felt that as the years past, the younger generation were losing sight of the history attached to this solemn day. Together with assistance of the Collingwood Club and the Victorian RSL, the match was approved and is now seen as second only to the Grand Final on the AFL yearly calendar with an average 90,000 spectators.

In 2005, Kevin also introduced the "Dreamtime" match between the Essendon and Richmond clubs. This match, which salutes our Indigenous players and population, attracts an average 90,000 spectators.

In 2016, the AFL approved another initiative by Kevin and the first "Country Match" was scheduled between the Essendon and Geelong clubs, bringing attention to the plight of farming communities across Australia, and in particular the high rate of depression and suicide in these areas.

Kevin is a member of the AFL Hall of Fame a Life Member of AFL, Richmond, Essendon Clubs, and the first ever Life Member at Greater Western Sydney Football Club (GWS FC). The GWS B & F Medal is named after him. He was awarded an Advance Australia Award and in 1998 he was admitted as a Member of the Order of Australia. He has Honorary Doctorates from Australian Catholic University and University of Western Sydney.

Kevin Sheedy is the co-author of eight books and in 2016 he self-published a Magazine to celebrate his 50 years in football. He is the Director of his family company; SheedyVision Pty Ltd which manages his endorsements and corporate appearances of which he attends an average of 100 events each year.
