Roger Clift was an Australian rules footballer for the Port Adelaide during the 1950s. He was part of four of the club's six premierships in a row and won the club's best and fairest in the first of those in 1954. Football historian John Devaney describes Roger Clift as "One of those players who seems blessed with a total disregard for personal safety".[3] Clift died of a heart attack at a young age, while playing squash.[3]
