Peter Darley, who was a ruckman, played in South Adelaide's 1964 premiership side.

He came close to winning the League best and fairest, the Magarey Medal, on two occasions; the first was in 1964 when he was runner-up, and the second came in 1968 when he tied with Barrie Robran on 22 votes but was ineligible due to a suspension earlier in the season for abusing an umpire.
He represented South Australia in 13 interstate game over the course of his career including as captain in 1968 and 1970.
