Jack Rocchi (21 December 1904 – 25 November 1979) was an Australian rules footballer who played for South Fremantle in the WAFL and Fitzroy in the VFL.
Originally from the Goldfields, Rocchi started his WAFL career at South Fremantle and became their first ever Sandover Medal winner in 1928.
A rover and one of the smaller players in the league, he was recognised for his sportsmanship, the dare of his play, his cleverness and the quality of his kicking and passing.
[2] Rocchi was recruited to Fitzroy after he had impressed during an interstate appearance for West Australia against Victoria.
He moved to Victoria in February 1931, and after the three month residential qualification period received his permit to play for Fitzroy – although not before a permit committee meeting in which delegates tried to argue over which date his ship had entered Victorian waters to get his qualification passed a week earlier.
