Darren Andrew Bartsch (born 26 April 1969) is a former Australian rules footballer who played as a ruckman for West Adelaide and Port Adelaide in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). Bartsch, standing at 196 centimetres (6 ft 5 in)[a] and weighing 89 kilograms (196 lb), was smaller than many others in his position, but his adaptiveness, powerful jump and speed – unusual for a player his size[2] – helped compensate.[3]
He is primarily known for being listed on five separate occasions by different Australian Football League (VFL/AFL[b]) clubs – West Coast, Geelong, Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon – the most of any footballer who never played an AFL match.[4]
