AUSTRALIA'S most notorious bushranger may have been a gun centre-half back.

A keen Kelly historian has drawn fire over suggestions convicted cop killer Ned Kelly played a season of footy for Williamstown.

Seagulls president and city barrister Trevor Monti, QC, says the convicted criminal was even on track to win the club's best and fairest — only to get reported for headbutting an umpire in his last game.

"He was a tough centre-half back with unconventional tactics," Mr Monti said.

It's understood Kelly played 11 games for the squad in 1873 — seven years before the infamous Glenrowan shoot-out that earned him a page in the history books — and a spot at the gallows.
