The highlight of David Armour's time at Geelong, his home town club, was playing in the club's 1975 reserve grade premiership team. In addition, he played 19 senior games and kicked 14 goals for the Cats between 1974 and 1976. The 1977 season saw him adding 18 WANFL games and seven goals for East Perth. He also played in that year's Ardath Cup final in which the Royals lost to Norwood, which by strange coincidence would be Armour's next club.

His time with the Redlegs was probably the most productive of his career. His 69 SANFL games included the 1978 grand final defeat of Sturt, while his last appearance in a Norwood jumper was the grand final loss to Port Adelaide in 1980.

David Armour returned to his roots in 1981 when he turned out for VFA first division club Geelong West.
