| Career Highlights | |
Ricky Barham (born November 28, 1958) is a former Australian rules footballer who played in the VFL/AFL.
Recruited from South Warrnambool, Barham had a successful career early with the Magpies as a very quick wingman. He could find the ball and his skills were sound, but his pace was his main asset. He played in both the 1977 Grand Final's in his debut season, and would play in three other Grand Finals in years 1979-1981, but would never see a premiership like most Collingwood fotballers during the 70's.
Barham played over 150 senior games in 10 seasons before retiring in 1986 to tour Australia, a life long ambition. The Victorian representative would later be a recruiting manager for Sydney.
