John Sattler

Football Codes

John William Sattler (28 July 1942 to 20 March 2023) was an Australian professional rugby league footballer who played as a prop in the 1960s and 1970s. He captained South Sydney to four premiership victories between 1967 and 1971 and played four Tests for Australia, three of them as national captain. Known as Satts, he was one of the hardmen of Australian rugby league, an aggressive player on the field who was regarded as a softly spoken gentleman off it, which earned him the second nickname Gentleman John. His son Scott Sattler also played professionally and won a premiership with the Penrith Panthers in 2003.
