George Goninon (born 18 April 1927) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Tasmanian North West Football Union (NWFU) and Victorian Football League (VFL). George Goninon was Geelong's champion goalkicker at full-forward in the 1951 and 1952 Grand Final wins; and he was going strong in 1953, with the Cats being hot favourites to make it three in a row. However, he was dropped from the team that lost the flag to Collingwood by two goals. In 2007, now 80 and living on the Gold Coast, the twice-married Goninon claimed he was a "victim of the times", a strict church-on-Sundays age when, being married, he had an affair and was found out (thus causing his potentially crucial omission). Geelong, with 90% churchgoers at the time, frowned on him and coerced the club to drop him out of the te rdf:langString
