John O’Loughlin joined Randwick as a 15 year old in 1943-44.

1948-49 was an amazing season for the 20 year old. He started in the 4th Grade team playing his first match at the new Snape Park ground. In a bizarre move a couple of matches later, the 2nd Grade captain Stroy Donnan, accepted a recommendation from the 4th Grade captain for John’s inclusion in his team as the 3rd Grade captain was reluctant to recommend anyone from his side.
