Keith John Rosewarne (18 July 1924 – 27 May 2008) was an Australian rules footballer in the VFL.
A local recruit from the St Kilda Thirds, Rosewarne made his senior debut in 1946, winning the best and fairest award in his first season.[1] He played as a rover and was a regular goalscorer, often kicking multiple goals in a match.[2]
Rosewarne represented Victoria at the 1947 Hobart Carnival versus South Australia,[3] and Queensland.[4]
In 92 games with the club, he scored 150 goals for an otherwise unsuccessful team. His retirement from the VFL came in 1951 at the age of 27, and in early 1952 he was cleared to Ballarat North club.[5]
Rosewarne served during World War II in the Australian Army.[6]
