He played in six premierships and captained the club, and now David Brown is one of the newest inductees into the Port Adelaide Football Club Hall of Fame.
The rugged midfielder was one of four players and a premiership team to be elevated at the club’s Hall of Fame and Season Launch event on Thursday night.
Brown enjoyed incredible success following his SANFL debut in 1987, playing in consecutive premierships in the next two seasons and missing a third in 1990 through injury.
Selected as part of the inaugural Adelaide Crows AFL list in 1991, Brown went on to play 69 games at West Lakes before returning home to Port Adelaide to be part of its inaugural AFL list in 1997.
After 22 games over two seasons, Brown finished his AFL career and continued to the play for the club in the SANFL where he was part of the sides that won the 1998 and 1999 premierships.
He was made Captain for the 1999 and 2000 seasons before his retirement after a total of 22 AFL and 182 SANFL games for Port Adelaide.
