Some Famous People called Kevin Wright
Kevin Wright
Kevin John Wright (born 27 December 1953) is an Australian former Test cricketer.
Wright played as a wicket-keeper, making 10 Test and five One Day International appearances for Australia in 1979 during the World Series Cricket era. He replaced John Maclean after the Fourth Test in the 1978–79 Ashes series, and played the last two Tests of that series, both Tests against Pakistan in Australia shortly afterwards, and all six Tests in India in late 1979, playing all his 10 Tests inside 10 months.
After World Series Cricket ended, he lost his place in the Australian and Western Australian teams to Rod Marsh. He moved to South Australia to continue his first-class career. When Wayne Phillips became South Australia's wicket-keeper in 1984, Wright retired from first-class cricket and moved to Sydney, taking up the position of Eagle Insurance's life division manager for New South Wales. In his last match for South Australia he captained them to victory in the McDonald's Cup limited-overs cricket final in 1983–84.

Kevin Wright (19 February 1933 – 3 October 2003) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Wright was used initially in the midfield, either as a centre, rover or wingman. Towards the end of his career he played more as a forward after establishing himself with a six-goal haul in the opening round of the 1958 VFL season. He kicked 43 in 1959 to top Fitzroy's goal-kicking and was their most prolific forward again the following season with 36 goals.
Wright moved to the Dandenong Football Club in the Victorian Football Association in 1962, and served there as captain-coach until 1964; he led the club to a Division 2 premiership in 1962, and kicked six goals in the grand final. After leaving Dandenong, Wright returned to Fitzroy where he became a director. He also spent a season, in 1972, as non-playing coach of Preston.
