Peter Czerkaski (born 19 September 1964) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Czerkaski, a defender and tagger, came to league football from De La Salle.[1] [2] He played 46 games for Richmond, from 1985 to 1990.[3] Three of his six career goals came in the opening round of the 1987 VFL season, a high scoring loss to the West Coast Eagles, which were making their debut in the competition.[4] He was involved in an incident against Hawthorn in 1989, when he was knocked down by Gary Buckenara behind play and was carried off the field with concussion.[5] The Hawthorn player received a three-week suspension.[6]
In the early 1990s, Czerkaski played for Sandringham in the Victorian Football Association (VFA). He was a full-back in Sandringham's 1992 premiership team and on a half back flank when they were premiers again in 1994.[7] [8] It was on a half back flank that Czerkaski was named in Sandringham's Team of the Century.[9]
