Versatile, sure and stylish, John Haygarth enjoyed an eye-catching if brief VFL career with Geelong, where he played 59 league games and booted 13 goals, between 1955 and 1959. Originally from Inverleigh, he tended to alternate between the half forward and half back flanks during the first half of his career before developing into a slickly skilful, if somewhat unpredictable, rover later on.
