Neale Kemp Rutzou (30 July 1927 – 26 April 1984)[2] 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.[1] [3] 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.[4] [5]
A defender, Rutzou was then kept out of the side with a broken finger and returned to Wagga Wagga mid-season.[6]
Rutzou was runner up in the 1950 Albury & District Football League best and fairest award, the Baz Medal,[7] with Wagga Tigers, who lost the grand final to Culcairn.[8]
