Les Johns

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Les Johns (born 1942 in Australia) was a rugby league player for the Canterbury Berries, New South Wales and for the Australian national side. During the 1960's he was a blonde headed fullback of considerable flair and on his day could be one of the most brilliant attacking and defensive players in the game.

Johns played nineteen games for New South Wales and fourteen Tests for Australia.
