:''For the United States Marine Corps Lieutenant General, see John F. Sattler.'' John William Sattler (born 28 July 1942 in Kurri Kurri, New South Wales) is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1960s and '70s. He was a rugged Prop forward who led his club, South Sydney to four premiership victories between 1967 and 1971 and who played four tests for Australia – three as the national captain. He is also the father of former rugby league player Scott Sattler who won a premiership with Penrith in 2003. ==Club career== One of the hardmen of Australian rugby league 'Satts' was an aggressive player on the field but a softly spoken gentleman off the field, hence his other nickname "Gentleman John". He began playing rugby league at the relatively late age of 16 for Kurri Kurri and represented Newcastle against the touring British side in 1962. The following year he joined South Sydney. In 1967 he was appointed Souths captain and he inspired Souths to premiership wins on four occasions in 1967, 1968, 1970 and 1971. He also led his team to the Grand Final in 1969 where they lost to Balmain. His position of choice was at lock forward though he played his best football at Prop forward. After 195 games with South Sydney, and four premiership victories, John Sattler signed for Brisbane Western Suburbs in 1973. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Sattler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
