Graeme Jenkin (original) (raw)

Graeme "Jerker" Jenkin (born 5 September 1945) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood and Essendon in the VFL during the 1960s and 1970s. Jenkin is best remembered for being the player that Carlton's Alex Jesaulenko took a spectacular mark over in the 1970 Grand Final, prompting the famous call of "Oh, Jesaulenko, you beauty!" by commentator Mike Williamson. In 1974, he was traded to Essendon in a swap for John Williams but struggled in his time there with injury. In July 1976, he transferred to Brunswick in the Victorian Football Association.
