Sports Union Colours

Shaun Johnston [Colour – Rugby League]

In 2008 Shaun Rabbi Johnston received his SU Colours, at Newcastle Town Hall, on the eve of the club's Grand Final win in Sydney. Congratulations Shaun, a most richly deserved award.

Shaun Johnston has been involved with the University of Newcastle Rugby League Club since he enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1996. Shaun's contributions to the Club include promotion, organising teams, coaching, management and recruiting new players. He has been Clubman of the Year, Club Secretary and President.

The lads who have known Rabbi all these years would have to embellish this testimonial of the boy's legendary devotion to the club's well being.

• With his fearless but crazy ball carrying runs up the middle of the ruck;
• his multiple season office bearing roles;
• his dedication to the logistics of the annual schoolboy sevens carnival (particlularly the catering corps);
• his thrillingly gutturally evocative intoning of the "Jack, the necrophiliac" mantras on bus trips;
• and his general desire to ensure that all parties involved with the club, both Old Boys and new, were catered for in best club traditions;

All will agree that the awarding of Rabbi's Sport's Union Colours ranks up there as one of the most deserved striped barbersop quartert jackets in the 4 decades of our club's existence. An Immortal for the Ages.
