Recruited from VFA club Oakleigh, John D'Arcy was a key position utility capable of holding down posts at either centre-half-forward or centre-half-back. Standing 185cm, D'Arcy was noted for his strong marking ability and arrived at Punt Road after progressing through the local Oakleigh ranks. His VFL career was limited to a brief five-game stint during the 1959 season, after which he returned to the VFA before forging a significant legacy in country football. He later became a prolific figure for Koroit in the Western District, where he served as captain-coach and topped the club's goalkicking on four occasions.
