Adam Heuskes (born 20 March 1976) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League most remembered for his on field flamboyance and controversial off-field behaviour, which twice resulted in rape allegations.〔(Four Corners – 03/05/2004: Fair Game? )〕 Recruited from South Australian National Football League (SANFL) club Norwood, Heuskes made his AFL debut in 994 with the Sydney Swans and immediately attracted attention in the media and the football world for his outrageous hairstylings. He was traded to Port Adelaide Football Club in 1997, a decision which the Swans later regretted, as Heuskes earned All-Australian selection later that year. Heuskes' attacking flair as a defender set up numerous goals. For the 1999 AFL season, Heuskes was traded to the Brisbane Lions, where he was a solid contributor during the Lions' 1999 finals campaign. At the end of 2000 his career was over after playing 14 games during the season. Heuskes later played 31 games for SANFL club North Adelaide before succumbing to an ankle injury in 2005 which forced his retirement from all forms of the game. Heuskes has a daughter, Tayla, born in 1992, and is married to Nikki Kosmider. ==Off-field behaviour and controversy== Heuskes has gained notoriety for incidents involving alcohol, and an inability to maintain self-control.〔http://www.ausport.gov.au/fulltext/2004/abc/s1100551.asp Ausport〕 He has twice been accused of raping young women in front of, or with, team mates.〔(Four Corners – 03/05/2004: Fair Game? )〕 Police have been involved in both of these cases, and one woman claims she was paid for her silence.〔(The World Today )〕〔(Swan Helped Pay $200,000 Over Rape Claim )〕 Both women later spoke out in a Four Corners program about sexual assault in AFL〔(Four Corners – 03/05/2004: Fair Game? )〕 Also known for his flamboyant style, two notable haircuts included the image of the Sydney Opera House shaved into the back of his head, as well as his guernsey number (39).
