Distinguished and Famous people from Kyabram
🏅 Garry Lyon
Garry Lyon grew up in Kyabram in a family with football already in its history: his father Peter had played for Hawthorn. As a child he spent much of his time kicking a ball and imagining a senior career. Melbourne’s recruiting zone brought him to the Demons as a teenager, and he later captained both the club and Victoria. His career also extended into broadcasting. His country upbringing and junior football in Kyabram preceded that long Melbourne career.
🏅 Brett Deledio
Brett Deledio attended Kyabram Secondary College and came through the local football pathway before Richmond selected him first in the 2004 national draft. The next morning’s headlines were backed by a very ordinary family detail: an early drive from Kyabram to Melbourne with his father for draft day. He won the AFL Rising Star award in 2005, two Richmond best-and-fairest awards and two All-Australian selections. Across 243 games for the Tigers, his pace and adaptability allowed him to contribute in several roles before a later move to Greater Western Sydney.
