Career
Royce Hart played with Richmond in the VFL during the period of its greatest on-field success, playing in four premierships. Arguably one of the greatest players of the Centre Half Forward position of all time, he was named in that position on the AFL's Team of the Century in 1996.
The week before the 1969 SANFL Grand Final Hart played for Richmond in the VFL Grand Final, helping them to win the premiership. Hart was paid $2000 to appear for Glenelg in the SANFL Grand Final, his only appearance for the club. His selection for this game was controversial and only possible because Hart was based in Adelaide whilst serving his National Service with the Royal Australian Artillery. He was concussed in the early stages of the grand final but recovered and was amongst the best players in the loss to Sturt.
