R.I.P. John Payne

[bedford]

Long term club Team Manager John Payne sadly passed away on Sunday.
John was a Life Member , you would see him on the interchange bench directing players on and off .
He organised everything in the background and was loved by all. He virtually started the Redbacks group as well.
A great Blood , great bloke has sadly left us

I worked for the AFL in a match day capacity at the SCG for a few years. John was the Swans point of contact for me.

Lovely fellow, very easy to deal with, I'm sad to read of his passing.

Nice read, this one. Just shows how important he was to all within the red & white 4 walls:

Vale John Payne

Long-serving former team manager John Payne has been remembered as a loyal friend who dedicated to the club he loved. We pay tribute to a Life Member who gave so much to the red and white.
