From Greensborough, Adamson came through the Collingwood Football Club's under 19s before getting into the senior side. He made his debut in 1966 as a slender defender. Adamson played in the losing Collingwood side in the 1970 Grand Final against premiers Carlton. Adamson was accused of racially abusing Carlton player Syd Jackson, when Jackson was repoted for striking Adamson. [1] 22 years later, Jackson admitted no racial abuse was committed.[2]
After he retired in 1973, Adamson was a support coach at Victoria Park.[1]
