2 comments so far (post your own)Grant was a good tackler and a brave one, going in without hesitation, and generally both rugged and dependable.
Capped Vs Wales & Northern Ireland in 1959.

John Grant was a very dependable full back but it was his pace and speed o recovery that got us out of trouble on many ocasions.
