Edward Hore Kinnear (27 October 1874 – 3 March 1965) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Essendon Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Kinnear was part of Essendon's inaugural VFL team in 1897 and finished the year as a premiership player – he was also the last survivor from that team. He was used as a full-forward in 1901 and kicked 16 goals, including five in a win over Carlton. Kinnear was a member of the Essendon premiership team that season.
In all he appeared in ten finals, with losing grand finals in 1898 and 1902. Also a follower, Kinnear became the first Essendon player to reach 100 VFL games during the 1902 season.
He later served as the Mayor of Essendon, in 1919 and 1920.
