Simon Minton-Connell (born 26 April 1969) is a former Australian rules footballer in the VFL/AFL, and nephew of the great full-forward, Peter Hudson.

VFL/AFL career

Selected at pick 38 in the 1986 VFL Draft by Carlton, the strong leading journeyman played for no less than 4 clubs in his 12 year career, amassing 112 games and 305 goals in the process. Despite this lack of career stability Minton-Connell was an effective forward judged by today's standards, despite being overshadowed by the more glamourous and prolific spearheads of the era.

Local league career

Retiring to local league football, Minton-Connell reached the 100-goal milestone for the Aberfeldie Football Club of the Essendon District Football League in 2002 [G. McLure, [http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/07/28/1027818484844.html 'Sporting Life'] , The Age, 29 July 2002] , ending the season with 121 majors after tragically tearing a thigh muscle in the opening minutes of that year's Grand Final versus Oak Park. [Anonymous, [http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/06/27/1056683902942.html 'Top guns in shoot-out'] , The Age, 28 June 2003]

In 2004 he played for the Moonee Valley Football Club, before spending a year with NOBs in 2005 and returning to Aberfeldie in the role of coach in 2006.
