Biography
Neale Kemp Rutzou (30 July 1927 – 26 April 1984) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Rutzou, a professional runner from Wagga Wagga, made two appearances for Geelong in the 1950 VFL season. He debuted in Geelong's 80 point opening round win over Hawthorn at Glenferrie Oval and played again the following week, when Geelong defeated Footscray at Kardinia Park, by 33 points. A defender, Rutzou was then kept out of the side with a broken finger and returned to Wagga Wagga mid-season.
