Grantley Fielke (b. 1962), former Australian rules footballer who played for West Adelaide in the SANFL and for both Collingwood and the Adelaide Crows in the VFL-AFL between 1979 and 1997.
He was also one of the prime movers to get West Adelaide their own home ground and was a member of the sub-committee which negotiated the lease of the land that is now the clubs home ground (Richmond Oval) from the West Torrens Council.
He was appointed as West Adelaide Captain-Coach in 1950 by the club committee, but that committee was ousted and the new leaders installed Jack Broadstock into the position instead, with the club paying Faehse the sum of A£60 for his trouble.
However, Port fans in the Sir Edwin Smith Stand at the Adelaide Oval didn't like what happened to their player and set upon the West Adelaide players as they made their way through the crowd to the dressing room with punches and kicks, with some players and officials reportedly not making it to the rooms until it was time to return to the ground for the second half.
West Adelaide also made Grand Final appearances in 1980 where they lost 88-113 to the St Kilda Saints in Launceston, and in 1983 where they lost 73-75 to the Phil Smyth led Canberra Cannons in Melbourne.
