Career highlights

Colin Robertson (born June 19, 1957) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the VFL from 1980 until 1986.

A hard running player, Robertson was a versatile footballer who could play across half back, on wing or on the ball. He was recruited to Hawthorn from Wynyard in 1980 and became a key part of the club's dominance during the following decade. Robertson was a premiership player in 1983, his best on ground performance thanks largely to a successful tagging job on Tim Watson earning him the Norm Smith Medal.
