Kevin Grose (18 June 1954 – 27 November 2012)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
A Reservoir Old Boy, Grose played as a half back flanker for Collingwood over three league seasons.[2] He played 12 games in 1975 and a further 15 in the 1976 VFL season.[3] By 1977 he was only a fringe player, with Collingwood building a side which would contest that year's grand final.[3]
Grose was then appointed captain-coach of Diamond Valley Football League club North Heidelberg in 1978. He promptly steered them a premiership in his first season in charge, their first flag in 16 years.[4] In 1978 he also was the league's equal leading goal-kicker on 80 goals.
