darren holmes -lrb- born 3 september 1970 -rrb- is a former australian rules footballer who played with the sydney swans and fitzroy in the australian football league -lrb- afl -rrb- during the 1990s .
a utility , holmes had his most productive year in 1992 when he made 19 appearances and after two more seasons was traded to fitzroy .
he was a member of the last ever fitzroy squad , playing seven games in the 1996 afl season .
holmes had the embarrassing misfortune of playing in five consecutive wooden spoon sides , with sydney from 1992 to 1994 and then at fitzroy in the next two seasons .
he is perhaps most remembered as the man who tackled the piglet which had been set loose during a game against st kilda at the sydney cricket ground in 1993 .
