The Port Adelaide Football Club mourns the passing of past player Darren 'Puffa' McKay.

Darren played 86 games for Port Adelaide in the SANFL, debuting in the opening round of the 1990 season and bringing his career to a close in 1998.

He remained a popular member of the club's 1990s-era alumni groups. 

He was farewelled at a service at Alberton Oval on Thursday, and the club's SANFL team wore black armbands in their victory over Norwood at the Parade on Thursday.

The club's condolences are extended to Darren's family and friends, particularly Puffa's parents, siblings, children, step-children and Julie and the Cahill family.
