Who is David Wittey?

David Wittey is a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda and the Sydney Swans in the Victorian/Australian Football League.

Wittey, a half back from Old Brighton Grammarians, made his debut in the opening round of the 1986 VFL season against Footscray and had 17 disposals. He went on to appear in St Kilda's first 15 games of the year before losing his place in the side. In the 1987 pre-season he was involved in an incident with teammate Tony Lockett, while playing a practise match. Wittey was struck with a round-arm punch to the head from Lockett and the full-forward was put on report by the goal umpire.

He was selected by the Brisbane Bears in the 1989 Pre-season Draft but didn't play a senior game for the club. The following season he was drafted by Sydney and made his only appearance in round 11 of the 1990 AFL season.
