I think he is living in Sydney.

Here is an old thread about him:

Here is a photo from a recent players reunion. Is it John Gray?

The photo above looks like Terry Adams (on the right) with Gary Larson.

John Gray taught me at school. I asked someone the other day about him. He is teaching at Marist Brothers again and is living in Northbridge, to the east of the shopping centre down Sailor's Bay Road. You just can't take the BEAR out of the man.

He is one of the world's true gentlemen and I am hoping to bump into him again as soon as possible.

Shortly before my Father died 2 years ago, I saw John at the Royal NS Hospital getting some therapy on that injury that he sustained a few years back.

Hope that helps Smile

It's good to hear John is working because from what i heard he wasn't
in good condition for a while. Hopefully the back problem is behind him.

the last time i saw he was at the 2005 north sydney reunion he's looked and was goin alright and he rang me up about 6 months ago still the same goin good, i think he said he was workin at a bank.
he was ringing up because he didn't get the message until late about my uncle neville makin passed away yeah he missed the funeral but still there was a big turn out for the big lovable big bear family and friends.

cheers

I was wrong above about John being at Marist.

It was another Mr Gray.

Bumped into John at the Fish Market, Pyrmont, yesterday. Still the same - a f****** great man.

Sadly he told my wife what a great student I was. I think the lies come from his time at Manly.

Thought you might like to see an article about him from 1982. I have a large poster if anybody is interested.
