The John Golder Story
John Golder 1/1/1980 - 16/4/93
John was a gifted sportsman, cricket,
soccer and athletics - he and his twin brother Ken were pupils
at Westfield Sports High School.
In cricket John was a wicket-keeper and
opening batsman, he was a really tough kid on the sports field,
never took a backward step and played with passion & aggression.
Once he putting on about 125 runs with Justin Schwitter,
Justin's share being 18.
He was a key player in K.L's premiership
winning 1992/93 U. 13/1 team.
Tragically, about a month after that
season's close, his mother went to wake him for school and found
he had died in bed. It was likened to a 'cot death' type
incident, a very fit 13 year old boy just no waking up - to my
knowledge no actual medical cause was found.
The K.L. committee agreed to name the
junior player of the year trophy in memory of John.
