Francis "Frank" Kenny (9 August 1878 – 26 April 1930) was an Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Career
Kenny, a South Melbourne junior, made two appearances for St Kilda, in the 1904 VFL season.[1][2] He debuted in St Kilda's round 15 loss to Melbourne at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[3] The following week he played against Collingwood at Junction Oval, in a 61-point loss.[4]
Also a district cricketer for South Melbourne, Kenny played several cricket matches alongside his twin brother Arthur, a Victorian first-class cricketer.[5][6] It is said that their identical appearances used to confuse opposition players, when one of them came in to bat after another had earlier been dismissed.[5]
Assault and death
Kenny suffered a fractured skull in an assault outside Flinders Street Station on 23 April 1930 and died of his injuries in Melbourne Hospital three days later.[7][8] He had been selling race cards to passers-by and got into an argument with a rival vendor, Francis Edwards, who struck him.[9][10] As a result of the inquest, Edwards was charged with manslaughter.[10]
