Career highlights

Phil Narkle is a former Australian rules football player of indigenous background who played for the Saint Kilda Football Club and West Coast Eagles Football Club in the AFL and Swan Districts Football Club in the WAFL during the mid-late 1970s and early 1990s. Younger brother of Keith Narkle (by 9 years) who also played for Swan Districts, Phil generally played on the wing position. Regarded as a highly skilled and determined footballer with tremendous pace, Phil was perfectly suited to the wing position where he could turn defence into attack. Phil Narkle played colts in 1977 for Swan Districts in the WANFL and was awarded the medallists medal for being the fairest and best player for that year. He made his debut for Swan Districts in the league competition the following year. [3].
