'''Peter Gabriel Burgoyne''' (born 29 January 1978) is a former [[Australian rules football]]er with [[Port Adelaide Football Club|Port Adelaide]] in the [[Australian Football League]] (AFL). He played primarily in midfield and on the half back flank.

==Early life==
Burgoyne is of [[Indigenous Australian]] descent with tribal ancestry that can be traced to the [[Kokatha]] ([[Nunga]]) in [[South Australia]].<ref>AFL Record. Round 9,2009. Slattery Publishing. pg 75.</ref> He grew up in the [[Northern Territory]] and began playing football with [[St Mary's Football Club (NTFL)|St Mary's]] in the [[Northern Territory Football League]] (NTFL). He is the elder brother of former [[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]] and [[Port Adelaide Football Club|Port Adelaide]] player, [[Shaun Burgoyne]] and is the son of former [[Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club|Port Adelaide]] player Peter Burgoyne, Snr.

==AFL career==
===Early career===
Beginning his AFL career with the inaugural [[Port Adelaide Football Club|Port Adelaide]] side to enter the AFL, Burgoyne became well regarded for his performance as an attacking midfielder. He was selected from the Port Adelaide side in the [[South Australian National Football League]] (SANFL) in their changeover from the SANFL to the AFL.
In the [[2000 AFL Season|Round 21, 2000]] clash against [[Carlton Football Club|Carlton]], Burgoyne won the match for Port Adelaide [[List of kicks after the siren in the VFL/AFL|after the siren]].

===Success===
Honours include being selected as part of the [[International rules]] series in 1999 and was a vital part of Port's premiership side of 2004. Burgoyne was also named in the [[Indigenous Team of the Century]]. Despite being selected for and representing South Australia in the final State of Origin game against Victoria in 1999, Burgoyne was not technically eligible under the existing rules, having resided in the Northern Territory and not South Australia for the majority of his life between the ages of 10 and 17.

===Twilight career===
In 2007 Burgoyne made a highly successful transition to the half back flank, following an injury-riddled 2006 in his usual midfield role, and finished third in the club's Best and Fairest count. His finals series was also acknowledged with the Power's 'Best Finals Player' award.

===Retirement===
Burgoyne retired at the end of the 2009 season. He and team-mate [[Brendon Lade]], the last remaining members of Port Adelaide's inaugural AFL team, both played their final games in round 22, 2009.<!-- Note: Nathan Eagleton, who retired in 2010, was on the Port Adelaide list in its inaugural AFL season, but did not play in the first game -->
