Ben Cunningham (born 22 November 1981) is an Australian rules footballer who played for the Fremantle Dockers between 2000 and 2004. He was drafted from the Claremont in the WAFL as the 49th selection in the 1999 AFL draft and played mainly as a midfielder.
Cunningham is best remembered for kicking a goal from 50 m in the final minute of the game against St Kilda in Round 2, 2002 at Subiaco Oval, to put Fremantle ahead for the first time in the match. [Cullen, Mic; [http://fremantlefc.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=27225 afl.com.au] April 7, 2002 ] Ironically, it was his usually poor kicking that led to him being delisted at the end of the 2004 season.
His other notable item was his afro hairstyle which he grew in the 2003 preseason, and although he didn't play many games with it due to injury, it was used as his official AFL photograph for the 2003 season. [ McClure, G [http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/06/19/1055828439867.html The Age] June 20, 2003]
