Worked with him on backshift when he came to Strongman after Dobson closed. We got on good.

John Tainui
His Son Boyd was one of the best players I’ve ever played with absolute legend got all his footy talent of his dad for sure, great photo

Murray Saunders
John Tainui I played with Boyd (killer) in the lower grades at Cobden Kohinoor. Watched him play in the back line for South Island at Wignham park. Could have been centre or 2nd 5? Had the amazing ability to ghost past opponent. His side kick Neil (triwsty) Twist and Trevor Allen same same 6th and 4th grade teams.

A good footballer I remember he came and coached Cobden they had two players the Gov and Rutlage they ran off him they won the first round of the Competition he was setting them up.

Kerry Keating
Priscilla-Chang Newton That would be George Rutledge. He was a National class cyclist too. I think it was trouble with his knees that forced his early retirement from sport.

Kerry Keating You are right Kerry

Kerry Keating
Bloody good fella. The same quality's his son Boyd has, brilliant on the field and a good friendly nature.

John White absolutely hard as nails

Trevor and Jock Butterfield (both Taylorville/Brunner men) were the Kiwi front rowers with Munga Emory(?) back when league scrums were not for the faint hearted. Tough men and skilled

Ken Meadowcroft
John White that was a great front row back then!

John White
Brunner needed men like that to keep you Blackballers from running over us. Can remember those senior teams of the late 50's going hard at each other. But afterwards we were stranded outside Blackball WMC until all hours. Cheers Ken.

John White a wonderful era for league (and the Coast) John, won't be repeated which makes it even more special

John White
Gavin Menzies
Yes that’s true Gavin. A few Menzies’ in those teams as well of course. They were massive days for us Brunner kids growing up in the 50’s. Brunner v Rununga! Town of Origin before the Aussies think they invented.

Gavin Menzies
