Petersham RUFC are saddened to announce the passing of Life Member John “Whitto” Whittington.

Whitto played for the juniors in the early 1960s and into the seniors in the late 60s and early 70s.

An amazing rugby player, mainly at fullback, and when asked played anywhere in the backs.
Also a great goal kicker, Whitto played in and lost a Kentwell GF in 1972, and played in and won a Kentwell GF in 1973.

The attached photo shows Whitto at his sporting best, playing for Petersham Rugby at Marrickville Oval in 1972, surrounded by his mates.

He will be sadly missed by many. Funeral details are yet to be arranged.

Wherever You May Be🌹
