Luke O'Sullivan (born 28 March 1968) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL).
Nicknamed Rhino, O'Sullivan played mostly as a half forward and made his league debut in 1988 after serving his apprenticeship in the Under-19s.
O'Sullivan, who came originally from Xavier College in Kew, had an injury plagued career but put in some good performances in 1992 to kick 21 goals.[1] He missed the entire 1993 AFL season due to a knee injury, sustained when some turf controversially gave way at Waverley Park.[2] The following year he made just two appearances, one of which was a semi final and played six times in Carlton's 1995 premiership winning season. After playing just once in 1996, O'Sullivan put together a career best 15 games in 1997 despite missing four games for breaking the jaw of Adelaide's Trent Ormond-Allen.
