careerhighlights =Graham Campbell (born 22 July 1936) was an
Australian rules football er who played with Fitzroy in the VFL during the late 1950 and early 1960s.In his playing days Campbell was both a rover and half forward, at his peak in 1957 when he won Fitzroy's Best and Fairest. He was a handy and consistent goal-kicker for the Lions, kicking at least 18 goals in all but his first and last season. Although the club had limited success in this era he did play in a Preliminary Final with the club in 1960 and in their Night Premiership side (Pre-season premiership) the previous year.
Campbell later turned to coaching and after a stint with the reserves he got his first taste of the big time when he was briefly Fitzroy's caretaker coach following Graham Donaldson's resignation in 1974. The next year he joined West Perth and coached them to the 1975 WANFL premiership. He was coach for a further three years before returning to Fitzroy where was appointed their senior coach. It started well for Campbell as he steered the Lions to another Night Premiership but the
1978 VFL season would be his only year in charge and they finished in ninth position. From 1983 to 1984 he was coach ofGlenelg Football Club .References
