Winston Abraham (born October 9, 1974) is an Australian rules footballer. During his AFL career he played as a half forward.
He was an inaugural player with the Fremantle Dockers and played in the Round 1 match against the Richmond Tigers at the MCG. He was noted for his pace and ability to kick freak goals. In 1998 he moved to the Kangaroos, winning the Mark of the Year in his first season, and played in their 1999 Premiership side.
In the first home and away game of 2001, he suffered an injury that would ultimately end his career. In a freak incident, less than a minute after he entered the ground, he ran into a stationary James Hird (who had taken a mark more than a second earlier) and on falling landed awkwardly and damaged his left knee. He was delisted at the end of that season, after it became apparent that surgery to his knee had not been successful.
He was appointed assistant coach at the Perth Football Club, his original club, in 2006.[1]
