James May, I'm pretty certain went Renmark to Sturt.
Last season, Ryan Bennett, Renmark to West.
Yes, Malcolm Hill did play for Sturt from Berri. Someone would need to clarify but I think it was only finals.

And whoever said Grave Danger was Satan's sporn got it wrong, as the Sporns are from Murrayville and I don't think they're related ;)

Will stand corrected but I think for a fair while the late Brendan Howard did two round trips at least a week in a car of 1000km (from Port MacDonell) to line up for Sturt and what's more he left straight after training so he could be back in time to catch crayfish at sparrows in the morning!

How about Eric Freeman? Travelled all the way from England to play in the 1968 2nd Semi Final :)
