Richard Osbourne Not Ossie, although that was a good guess, as he played more than 50 at both Fitzroy & Footscray, along with a few for both Sydney & Collingwood.

Not Kickett or Pike either. Kickett reached 50 games for Fremantle, but didn't hang around long enough to reach the milestone at any of his first 4 clubs. Pike reached 50 for both North & Brisbane. He may well have played 50 for Fitzroy too, if the club had been allowed to play another season.
Pike played his first game for Melbourne in 1993. The player I am after retired that same year. He actually played more than 60 games at each of his 3 League clubs.

Glenn Coleman
Correct. Well done Punter.
Glenn "Galaxy" Coleman played 64 games for Fitzroy, followed by 61 for Sydney & 69 for Footscray. As far as I know, he's still the only player to have played more than 50 games at 3 different clubs.

Story I heard about Galaxy was that he was so thick, the training staff had to put a note in his bag after training on Thur. night informing him of where they were playing on the following Sat. and what shorts to wear. Probably too good to be true though.

Maybe that was just some gentle ribbing, after he turned up at the wrong ground to play in the Under 19's Grand Final & then, when he finally made it to the MCG, he only had one footy boot.

I grew up watching "Galaxy" play. Was always a big fan.
