Your Say
John McDonald says: Very tough forward,I used to watch john play for the raiders.The Raiders had an away game back in 83 or 84,in Sydney,and my father and his mate went to watch,they missed the bus back to canberra,after the game,and they came across the players bus,Dad told the bus driver of their predicament,and they heard a voice from within the bus telling to get on fellas there is plenty of room,it was John.Dad found out later John had sustained broken ribs in that match,but still cared about other people.What a top bloke.

Anonymous says: John has had some horrific luck in recent years with double leg amputations. True the extaordinary determination and toughness of this guy, he is now attempting to secure a place in Australia amputee olympics team. A wonderful and still courageours man. I can only admire John and his never say die, competitive spirit. (25/08/2011)
Michael Smith says: I weight train with John in Townsville. John is one of the most inspiring people I have had the pleasure to know. I never knew John as a League player, but he tells me he was a hard and tough opponent, after training with him I'd believe it. (26/07/2012)
