Career highlights

Milham Hanna (born 5 April 1966) is a former Lebanon-born Australian rules footballer best known for his career with the Carlton Football Club in the 1980s and 1990s.[1]

Nicknamed The Cranium (after his cleanly shaven head, due to alopecia) or simply Mil for short, Hanna is distinguished as being the only Lebanese-born player in the history of the Victorian Football League/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL).

Hanna grew up in the inner-northern suburbs of Melbourne, where he played his junior football in Brunswick East.[1]

He was known in the VFL/AFL for his athletic physique and blistering pace playing as a tall running wingman.[1]

Hanna debuted as a skinny kid in 1986, however he had the misfortune of rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee during his debut game. During his rehabilitation, he spent the entire year building his body in the weight room, after which he went on to forge a distinguished and largely injury-free career with Carlton.

He played in two AFL Grand Finals (1993; 1995), including a premiership medal (1995), and achieved All-Australian team selection (1992).[1]

Hanna now[when?] owns a cafe, the Fitz Cafe, in Fitzroy, Victoria.


  • Also famous for getting knocked out by Dean Wallis in the 1993 Grand Final.
