peter e. oatey -lrb- born 1946-1947 -rrb- is a former south australian sportsman who played both australian rules football and tennis .
he appeared in two australian championships and played for the norwood football club in the south australian national football league -lrb- sanfl -rrb- .
oatey played 120 sanfl games with norwood , from 1965 to 1972 .
early in his career he was a half forward flanker but he later appeared mostly as a rover .
he is the son of jack oatey and brother of robert oatey , both south australian football hall of fame inductees .
he partnered ian bidmeade in the 1967 australian championship doubles but they were eliminated in the opening round , by americans jim mcmanus and jim osborne .
in the 1968 australian championships he had more success , reaching the quarter finals of the doubles with his partner barry phillips-moore .
they defeated eighth seeds william coghlan and colin stubbs in the opening round , in five sets .
in the next round they had a walkover win over the japanese pair , jun kamiwazumi and toshiro sakai .
their quarterfinal encounter with the number one seeds , william bowrey and ray ruffels , proved too much and they exited in straight sets .
oatey also competed in the singles draw and again encountered william coghlan in the first round , this time losing in four sets .
had oatey won he would have met his own doubles partner , phillips-moore , in the second round .
