About Darryl White

Darryl White (born 12 June 1973) is an Australian rules footballer whose career with the Brisbane Bears and Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League (AFL) lasted from 1992 to 2005. An Indigenous Australian, in 2005 he was named at fullback in the Australian rules football Indigenous Team of the Century. Beyond his AFL career, White continues to be involved in football, having forged one of the most successful careers of any Australian rules footballer, with six premierships across three competitions (AFL, NTAFL and QSL). He is an indigenous role model for many aboriginal Australians. White survived the 1996 merger between Fitzroy and the Bears which formed the Brisbane Lions, and was an integral member of its first premiership victory in 2001 playing off half-back. The Lions were thrashed by St Kilda by a record 139 points in Melbourne in a disappointing finish to a spectacular and entertaining career.
