Noticed in the HUN that John passed away

Was one of my favourite players when I was a kid

Had thighs like lamp posts

Was Sergio Silvagni's cousin

He built the old scoreboard that was at the Lygon St end before the Legends Stand was built

R.I.P.

RIP

Yes.....John was a concreter by trade; and also constructed all of the tiered terracing in the outer at PP.

He had the biggest thighs I've ever seen; bigger even than Big Nicks!

John joined Carlton directly from Parade CBC with his cousin; Serge Silvagni; and played 88games in the back pocket; although he did manage to kick 15 goals somehow between 1958 and 1965.

Well played John; and R.I.P.
