Brian Kekovich (born 7 January 1946) is a former Australian rules footballer in the VFL/AFL, who played for two seasons with the Carlton Football Club. A strong, dominant, talented, and courageous player, who was able to play hard and well through extreme pain, and always alert to the position of his team-mates, his otherwise long and productive VFL career was brought to a sudden end when he was forced to retire after suffering a severe back injury. == The Kekovich brothers == Brian is the older brother of former and player Sam Kekovich. His youngest brother, Michael, recruited from Trinity Grammar, who was showing great promise at North Melbourne at the age of 16,〔(Kekovich . . .
