Vale John Elliott

[Kruezing]

Condolences to his family … Carlton through and through … images of him in the change rooms after the 99 prelim come to mind … RIP big ‘Jack’ …

On the day one door opens
Another closes

Carlton forever …

 

[Keyza]

I just heard the news.
Sad to hear, he was a good Carlton man.

Rip Big Jack.

Deepest sympathy to Tom and The Elliott family.

A colorful and certainly controversial and flawed figure, bur one whose heart (for better or worse) always truly beat Navy Blue.

Will always fondly remembered his speech in the locker room. after we beat Essendon in the 1999 Prelim Final.

Sad day for our football club.

Rest peacefully, Jack, and know your beloved Blues are back in good hands again.

RIP

Even though he was a polarising figure, he own takes of things were, well... interesting.

What did he actually die of? I didn't know he was ill.

took a bad fall a couple of weeks ago - older people often struggle to come back from accidents like that...........

 

[Chookaradley]

Epitomises "We are Carlton F#$k the rest". Ruthless and uncompromising in his love for this great football club.

A huge heart that bleeds Navy blue
Vale John...

 

[TheReal99prelim]

Vale Jack...he was from another era, our premierships were from another era and I'm old enough to be from that era
Life moves on but he was the best for us IN THAT ERA
Condolences to all his nearest and dearest
RIP John

Former Carlton president John Elliott dies

Tom Elliott says his father will be remembered as a strong presence and a loving family man, who could connect with all types of people.

Would have loved to be at a presidents lunch back in his day.

Loved the obnoxious and outspoken way he ran the club, what a great Carlton man.

RIP Jack

RIP Big Jack. Remember many times him doing the dash through the members with a cigarette in hand 5 mins before first bounce at PP….no doubt after deleting about 12 beers at the presidents lunch

Pigs arse!

Gone but not forgotten, and never will be forgotten

Respect and sympathies to his family.

A good Carlton man.

The quote attributed to him about a pigs nether regions was never said by Jack.

Absolutely true, he hated it.
Never dull, never timid and never afraid.
He made mistakes but he did a lot of good for the Blues as well.
RIP Jack.

The quote attributed to him about a pigs nether regions was never said by John.

It came about by the Sketch Comedy show Fast Forward back in the late 80’s and Steve Vizard who impersonated John Elliott - and used that quote in his skits, unfortunately it stuck and was incorrectly attributed to John Elliott.

I think moderators out of respect should delete the references to that quote in the above posts.

He always had time to chat with the fans and members, remember coming across him a few times over the years at half time smoko break at Prince's Park and Docklands, managed to get him to laugh a couple of times when I took pot shots at Essendon (whom he really disliked as we all do)

Can never imagine the likes of stuck up Presidenr snobs like Kennett doing the same wit their supporters.

Definitley was a one of a kind bloke.

Colourful...R.I.P

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Done a huge amount of work for Carlton and took on anyone who dared to stand in our way to make us a powerhouse, successful club.

Didn’t always do things the right way and rubbed many opposition clubs & the league up the wrong way often but you could never question his passion and love for the Blues.

RIP Big Jack

 

[BrianSetzer]

Rest in peace John. Sad day, Carlton man through and through.

 

[TENACIOUS]

RIP Jack...
Thank you for all the good you did for the club...

Club can now finally move on from the bad.. Under a new Sayers, Cook & Voss era...

Kind of eerie that he passed away on the day Voss was named coach, must mean we are in great hands...

 

[Stiffler's Dad]

Pigs arse!
What a character.
Blue to the core.
RIP Jack.

 

[What else we can do]

RIP John Elliott never forget seeing him having a cigi during the 95 GF.

 

[Arr0w]

Polarising

Remember a game at the dome against the Crows, half time and smoking a cigar on the open terrace out the back

Captivating as always, drawing a crowd from both supporter groups, of all ages

RIP

 

[Blue and Blue]

A larrakin and and legend of Carlton.
Put Australia on the map in many ways also.
Vale Jack.

Jack passing away on Team selection night of Grand Final week , which back in the day for Jack he would have given the ol gaspers and ashtrays a good seeing to leading up to the GF
