Vale – Brian Johnstone

It is with much sadness that we advise Brian Johnstone has passed away.

Brian joined the Dirty Reds at the end of the 1952 and playing in the backs as a half, fly half or full back until 1966. His 239 games for the Club included 73 in First Grade.

He became the Club’s delegate to the Sydney and NSW Rugby Unions and served on the Executive Committees of those Unions and of the Australian Rugby Union during the period to 1985.

Brian was elected Club President in 1987 and 1988 and provided strong support in all the Club’s deliberations, and in recognition of his service to the Club and Rugby, he was acknowledged with Life Membership in 2008.

The funeral service will be held at St Philips Church, 3 York St Sydney on Thursday 18th July at 11am.
