In his first season with Richmond, he ran second in the Best and Fairest and won the Best First Year Player award. He played five seasons with Richmond and was a member of the clubs’ only night Premiership side in 1962. He retired at the age of 25, to concentrate on his business career. John recently retired as a Director of the Richmond Football Club, and now lives in Hawthorn.
