'''Colin Churchett''' (30 January 1926 – 5 February 2012)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://australianfootball.com/players/player/Col%2BChurchett/7242|title=Col Churchett — Player Bio|publisher=Australian Football|accessdate=20 November 2014}}</ref> was an [[Australian rules football]]er who played with [[Glenelg Football Club|Glenelg]] in the [[South Australian National Football League]] (SANFL). He also played a game for [[Sydney Swans|South Melbourne]] in the [[Australian Football League|Victorian Football League]] (VFL).<br />
<br />
A full-forward known for his accuracy in front of goals, Churchett was the league's top goal-kicker for four consecutive seasons from 1948 to 1951. In the second half of that sequence he kicked 105 goals and 102 goals respectively. He was also Glenelg's leading goal-kicker in an additional two seasons. Churchett represented the South Australian interstate team on seven occasions during his career.<br />
<br />
While away in Melbourne on war service in 1944, Churchett played one senior [[1944 VFL season|VFL]] game with [[Sydney Swans|South Melbourne]]. It came in a win over Geelong at the [[Junction Oval]] where South Melbourne scored an unusual 8.30 (78) to 8.8 (56) — the biggest winning margin with equal goals in VFL/AFL history.<br />
<br />
He was one of the inaugural inductees into the [[South Australian Football Hall of Fame]] when it opened in 2002.<br />
