Jack Ford Print Page Print this page

The plaque commemorates Rugby Union player Jack Ford (1906-1985).

Ford was a rugby player ahead of his time. He was not only big (more than 100kg) but extremely mobile, and he broke the opposition line regularly with powerful runs from the No. 8 position. The impact he made had much to do with Australia's success during the span of his 11 Test career, 1925-1930.
