Peter Carey (Australian rules footballer)

Peter Gareth Carey (born 27 January 1954) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Glenelg Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).

Nicknamed "Super" and regarded as surprisingly agile for a player of his considerable size and a strong overhead mark, Carey began his career playing mainly as a forward, forming a memorable partnership with full-forward Fred Phillis, before moving into the ruck for the remainder of his career. He is the current games record holder in the SANFL, being credited with 448 senior level appearances from 1971 to 1988, and to date is the only SANFL player to have reached the 400-game milestone. He also represented South Australia 19 times in interstate football, giving him a total of 467 senior level appearances, which stood as a national record until passed by fellow South Australian Craig Bradley, who finished with 501.

A member of both the South Australian and Australian Football Hall of Fame, Carey was an integral part of the Glenelg team during one of its most successful (but frustrating) eras, playing in ten SANFL Grand finals for three premierships.

He is currently serving as Glenelg's club president, having taken over the role from fellow club legend Nick Chigwidden in October 2019.
