Michael Redden (born 17 May 1957) is a former Australian rules footballer in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), playing for the North Adelaide Football Club.
Recruited from the Orroroo Football Club in the Northern Areas Football Association, Redden made his SANFL debut in 1978.
In 1993 he was appointed captain of the North Adelaide Football Club, and captained the club for the season, in which was his last year of football, due to retirement.
He played in the North Adelaide premiership team of 1987, and 1991, won the club's best and fairest award in 1983, and was awarded life membership at North Adelaide in 1987.
Redden played representative football for South Australia, representing the State 11 times, was State Captain in 1991, and inducted into the SANFL Hall of Fame in 2002.
Redden almost certainly racked up more kilometres travelling to and from Adelaide for matches than any other SANFL player of his, or indeed arguably any, generation. Being based on a farming property near Orroroo, 300 kilometres north of the city, Redden was rarely able to attend club training sessions, but over the course of his 16-season playing career, travelled an estimated 260,000 kilometres just to get to matches. For much of his career, he was the cornerstone of the team. Neither quick nor particularly athletic, he more than compensated with his great energy, determination, indefatigable good humour, and refusal to succumb.
The value of Mick Redden’s contribution to North Adelaide was officially recognised with his inclusion in the club’s ‘Team of the Century’ & Hall of Fame.
