Born in Perth in May 1971 Damon Diletti is demonstrably the most accomplished goalkeeper produced in Western Australia.
He is the only custodian to have won an Olympic medal in three consecutive Games – silver in 1992 in Barcelona, bronze in 1996 in Atlanta and then bronze again in Sydney in 2000.
Apart from the three Olympics he played in two World Cups and six Champions Trophy tournaments from 1993 until 2000. In 1994 he was selected in a World Eleven after the Champions Trophy that year.
Diletti’s play was characterised by great courage, outstanding reflexes and brilliant defence on penalty corners against the worlds best attackers.
