Career edit
Originally from Newtown & Chilwell, Tenabel spent his first few years playing for the Geelong reserves and was a member of their 1963 and 1964 premiership teams.[1][2]
Unable to make it in the seniors with Geelong, Tenabel made his way to South Melbourne and made seven league appearances in the 1965 VFL season.[3] He played three games in 1966, followed by another seven in 1967, before leaving for Geelong West.[4]
Tenabel had a memorable first season at Geelong West in 1968. A follower in the club's Division Two premiership team, he kicked three goals in the grand final win over Williamstown and also won Geelong West's best and fairest award.[5][6][7] He then captain-coached the club in the 1969 VFA season.[7]
He coached Newtown & Chilwell in 1973, 1974 and 1980.[8]
