Johnny Slade

Coaching Career

Biography

Former Norths Newcastle fullback from Stockton, a reserve for NSW in the interstate matches in 1953, also played against the American 'All Stars' that year. Slade was captain-coach of P’matta that year at the tender age of 21 (surely a record for one so young) and was then chosen in the Sydney team to take on France in 1955 ahead of Clive Churchill - stopping the great fullback's sequence of 99 consecutive rep matches.
