The personification of Queensland pride and determination, Crofty played 94 consecutive games of Super Rugby in his 116 appearances for Queensland.
A member of the 2003 Wallabies Rugby World Cup squad, David also captained Australia A, the Melbourne Rebels in the Australian Rugby Championship and the QR Reds. He played in the landmark Prime Minister’s XV team against Japan at the end of 2006 and for the World XV against South Africa in London. He won the prestigious Pilecki Medal, the Reds' “Players’ Player” award, in 2007 and 2008, his final year of professional rugby.
Away from rugby, showed a strong commitment to charity, visiting the Philippines during May 2006 as part of the Anglican Border Mission Water Appeal. The programme aimed to raise money to tap fresh water into Philippine villages to prevent illness and to save valuable time sourcing and carrying fresh water.
