Barry "Jack" Elsegood (born 22 December 1973 in Sydney Australia), is a former Australian Rugby League player and now race driver.
A Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles junior and an Australian Schoolboys representative in 1991, Elsegood was made his first grade debut for the Sea Eagles in the opening round of the 1993 against local rivals North Sydney. 1993 was actually to be Elsegood's best individual season at Manly. He played 22 games, scored 12 tries (including a memorable length of the field try in Manly's 36-10 Minor Semi-final loss to Brisbane at the Sydney Football Stadium), as well as winning both the Dally M Rookie of the Year and the Norwich Rising Star awards.
1994 was a down year for Elsegood. A shoulder injury suffered in Manly's successful World Sevens win in the pre-season would hamper him for the season and would eventually require surgery at seasons end. Unfortunately for Elsegood, who before the season was tipped as a bolter for the 1994 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain and France, the injury would also hamper his form and he only crossed for 4 tries for the year and he was subsequently overlooked for the Kangaroo Tour.
Elsegood would continue to be a regular on the Manly wing in both 1995 and 1996, though he missed Manly's Grand Final loss to the Sydney Bulldogs in 1995 while he sat on an extended bench for Manly's 20-8 win over St George in the 1996 Grand Final but did not get to play on the day.
