    Another one of my all time favourite players-distinctive in his white headgear gave great service to the Blues in an era when there were were a lot of great 2nd rowers. Should have got rep honours somewhere along the line.

    A great uncle to me, and a great man still alive in NSW, would love to see one of his games from the 60s

    Hi, Sadly John Oakley has passed away, I’m his nephew Matt Symons born from Johns sister Patricia. I loved going to his games when I was just a kid, specially the games against Balmain where Johns brother Peter Oakley played and Manly cause that’s where I grow up, Uncle John Oakley inspired me all my life.

    Was just looking up John to see if he was still with us, so sad to see of his passing. Met John when I worked up at Grafton he owned the post office hotel i was there for about 4 months, really was nice man. I believe his wife was Robbin and had a son and daughter .
