SA Footy

A particularly sad day for South Adelaide with the passing of one of the clubs greats.

Rest in peace, Sneezer.

Didn't know he was ill. I'll remember him as one of the greats of the Panthers in the 80s. Also sought success with Gary Christie in 1988 at the Bay.

Sad news, a name all footy fans will remember.

I knew John , so sad condolences to the family and club .

Absolutely devastated. A great Glenelg man as a player, runner, coach and football manager. I’ll remember him as some who gave to individuals so they could grow as men and footballers. Quality individual. Condolences to the family. A sad day for the SANFL community.

RIP #6

So highly regarded by everyone he was involved with at The Bay.
Gone way too young.
RIP Sneezer.

John is in the South Adelaide Football Club Hall of Fame, he is a legend, one of the club's best, forever. Sneezer will not be forgotten. RIP.

Really sad to hear of Sneeza's passing. Fantastic player in a Golden era of SA Footy that I always really admired. Condolences to all his friends and family.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Sneezer at such a young age. Condolences to members of his family and his extended South Adelaide and Glenelg families.

A shame

Was one of those opposition players I always enjoyed watching

What!!!!!! The big C or something else for one way to young. Before my time as a supporter but the stories support a man who must have been a star

Sneezer!

RIP Sneezer - One of the stars of the SANFL in its prime and always a thorn in the Dogs side back in the day. Condolences to all who knew and loved him.

Great man, undersized in ruck and as a key forward but gave his all week in week out for South and the Bays. Recently overseen a fantastic football program at Brighton which has seen the club rise to Div 1. Will be missed greatly.

Very sad news, was a favourite of mine in the SANFL, a great honest footballer that could play anywhere.

A feast of great Sneezer highlights here.

Funeral will be at Morphetville Racecourse at 2pm.

Sneezer had an interesting preparation for each game up to at least 1981
11:30am Breakfast was 6 slices of toast and a glass of Milo

He started his career with a bang scoring 9 or 10 goals depending where I read in his first 2 games
He was a state footballer
Sneezer ended up kicking 377 goals , thats a decent amount for a player who played a fair bit at Centre Half Forward
