Ken Emselle was a gifted rover who worked his way through the ranks at Melbourne. He was on the bench for the 1964 VFL Grand Final in which the Demons edged out Collingwood by 4 points, and all told played a total of 97 league games, booting 109 goals, from 1962 to 1969. Between 1970 and 1973 he played 71 games for Prahran, winning two club best and fairest awards, and playing in the centre in the first Division Grand Final-winning sides of 1970 and 1973, the latter game as captain.
