Cornelius Britt (10 August 1947 – 23 July 2022) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Britt, who was recruited from Golden Point in the Ballarat Football League, was a utility who was regarded as being hard at the ball.[1] He appeared in seven finals matches,[2] including the 1970 VFL Grand Final loss to Carlton where he played as a half forward flanker and kicked a goal. He was also used as a centreman and ruck-rover during his career. He retired at the age of 26 in 1973.[3]
