Kym Harrison is one of South's finest products and today is a celebrity sports presenter in Canada where his alter-ego Myk Aussie has a cult following all over the world. Before this of course, he was a champion footballer with a proven pedigree at local and league levels.

Harrison, and his older brother Tony, were first brought to South by their father Kevin as schoolboys from Roseworthy. He had played mini-league for Hamley Bridge where he won the Mini League Mail Medal in 1976 and captained the Gawler and District Mini League side which appeared at half-time in SANFL games at Elizabeth Oval and in a State wide competition at Football Park. By 1979 he was captain of the Junior Colts, winning the Rag trophy for that season. After graduating into the senior colts the next year, he took out the 1980 Best Team Man trophy, and was then recipient of the Rag Trophy and Runner Up in the Best and Fairest of that grade in 1981.

Kym immediately was selected for A Grade duty in 1982, and was a fantastic rookie, presented with the Best First Year trophy in his maiden senior season. He then cemented his place as a top A Grade regular, collecting the 1984 Most Constructive award before finishing Runner Up Best and Fairest in 1985 to Churchy Schultz. Kym ventured to Darwin in late 1985 and played A Grade for the Waratahs team in the top Darwin league. In 1986, due to work and study, Harrison moved to the city where he played excellent footy for Flinders Park in the much-respected SAFA for two years. While at Flinders Park, he was noticed by SANFL club Woodville who signed him up for the 1988 season. Kym soon was playing league football with future Lions and league stars Garth Newton and Ian Dettman who would follow him back to his old club. In 1989 his good run was disrupted by injury, however he managed to come back for the last six games of the season in the League reserves. He gained his league spot back again in 1990, but finished up his year winning the Woodville reserves Best and Fairest.

Kym returned to South in 1991 an accomplished professional, immediately enhancing his role as a talented South local. He represented the BLGFA A Grade in the SA Country Championships (with teammate and Lions coach Mullet McGrath), and was voted in the best players in the Country Championship game played at Football Park before the Crows versus Essendon. Although we got beaten in the semi final, Harrison still had a very good return year winning the Best and Fairest for the season. After missing out on the 1986 and 1990 flags, Kym finally tasted a senior flag at home when we won the 1992 premiership under Mullet McGrath. In 1993 he was cruelly robbed of a chance to follow it up in back-to-back flags when he tore a hamstring during the finals. He was voted the Best Player of the finals in 1994 before retiring at the end of the 1995 season. Shortly afterwards he headed overseas and began his webcast enterprise.

With such an impressive resume, today Kym produces sports comedy internet TV shows and writes a weekly Aussie Rules Football column where he often mentions the Lions. He has talked about South on radio shows in the USA and he wears his Lions gurnsey on "Off The Record", a very popular sports show based out of Toronto that is shown in prime time all over Canada nightly. A great player, and even though now living thousands of miles away - and amazingly still playing in Canada, continues to support and promote his beloved South Gawler.
