Do they have to be "top" players, you might run out of numbers.
How about first graders?
John Elias springs to mind.
Craig Coleman came real close.

He may have been a cop at one stage, altho' - IIRC - the fella's footy

Hang on, Brad played for Penrith didn't he? I'm sure I read about him

Did he play for Penrith? Was a RLW article I am channelling, and Brad
was definately the more 'famous' of the two. His wife, IIRC, was also a
cop (that is a tad fuzzier though).

No Brad worked for Telstra. Craig Izzard was indeed a police officer
though (formerly Railway Police but at some stage integrated into the
NSW Police). I think Brad served two or three years for it.

Raiders rookie Nathan Smith (six tries in five first grade appearances) can
be added to the list. Oh dear.
http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,10381529%255E26462,00.html
League star on exposure charge
August 8, 2004
UP-and-coming Canberra winger Nathan Smith has been charged with wilful
obscene exposure and resisting arrest after an early morning incident in
Sydney's Kings Cross.
Canberra officials today confirmed Smith had been arrested and charged only
hours after scoring a try in his side's 20-14 loss to Newcastle at
EnergyAustralia Stadium last night.
The Raiders will launch an investigation into the matter tomorrow.
"We will be doing our own investigation tomorrow morning," chief executive
Simon Hawkins said.
"I haven't heard his side of it, but obviously it's disappointing. We will
have to have a look at it in the morning, have a chat to the player and
discuss a course of action from there."
Police confirmed a 21-year-old Canberra man had been released on bail and
would appear before Downing Centre Local Court on August 25.
Smith has been one of the shining lights of an otherwise disappointing
season for the Raiders.
The rookie winger scored two tries in his first grade debut against North
Queensland earlier this year and was promptly signed by the Raiders to a new
two-year deal.
He scored his sixth try from five first grade appearances during his side's
defeat at Newcastle, a loss which dropped the Raiders out of the top eight.

I think you will find there were two accidents.
I'm not sure what order they were in but I believe Alexander was the driver
in an accident with Mark Geyer (I think) as passenger, Ben was killed. I
think that Ben just went too fast and rear ended a truck.
In the other one Brad Izzard was the driver and went off the road at or near
a bridge killing a passenger (the police officer).
That's my recollection, but could be wrong.

I was trying to remember the article I read all those years ago and
which one was the cop. The incident in question you mention below I knew
nothing of and isn't relevant to me searching the reaches of my mind for
a name.

I can't find anything in the search engines, funny that as there was a heap
written about both incidents at the time. I suppose being a couple of years
before the WWW might have something to do with it.
From memory I am sure that Ben was driving and I think Geyer was in the car
with him, Ben just plain ran up the back of a truck.
The one with the cop was the Izzard crash and I thought there were four
occupants in that car that ran off the road killing the officer.
