Tony Smith (born 1 August 1966) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Sydney Swans in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Originally from Queensland, Smith only played a few games for Morningside in the Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL) in 1985 before he was approached by the Swans.[2] He had just joined the Queensland Police Force but on the encouragement of his father, who had been a South Melbourne supporter, decided to make the move to Sydney.[2] A ruckman, Smith made his senior debut against Melbourne in round 17 of the 1986 season.[2] Smith only played a total of 17 games in three seasons. Due to business commitments, he left the Swans at the end of the 1988 season, to captain-coach Sydney club North Shore.[3]
After retiring from football, Smith became a successful property developer and promoted the schoolies week on the Gold Coast.[4] In January 2015 he was charged with retaliation against a witness, attempting to pervert the course of justice and attempted fraud.[5]
