Jim Heenan (18 June 1906 – 23 July 1981)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Heenan was a member of Northcote's 1929 VFA premiership team.[2][3]
He spent the 1930 VFL season with North Melbourne.[4] In round nine, his seventh league appearance, he was reported for striking Richmond player Bert Foster with his elbow, for which he received an eight-game suspension.[4][5] His return, in round 18, would be his final appearances for North Melbourne.[4]
Later in the decade, Heenan played for the Sunshine Football Club.[6]
His son, Jim P. Heenan, played for Essendon in the 1950s.[7][8]
