Darren Goldspink (born 12 September 1964) is a former Australian rules football umpire in the Australian Football League who umpired 371 games over 18 seasons, including six AFL Grand Finals.[1]
Goldspink was awarded the prestigious All-Australian Umpire award three times in his career during the years 1993, 1995 and 2005, earning himself an AFL Grand Final appointment on each occasion.[2] He also umpired in the 1998, 2000 and 2006 AFL Grand Finals.[3]
Prior to the 2007 AFL season, Goldspink was dropped by the AFL umpiring panel due to lack of fitness.[4] He returned after attaining the levels required, and he umpired again in Round 10, 2007. Two rounds later (in Round 17), Goldspink umpired his 350th VFL/AFL match, before retiring at the end of the year.
