Rugby league icon John Sattler has died at the age of 80.
Sattler had suffered from dementia for a number of years.
He played 197 games for South Sydney in the 1960s and 70s, and famously led the Rabbitohs to victory in the 1970 grand final despite breaking his jaw during the game.
That was one of four premierships he won with his beloved Bunnies, having been named captain of the team in 1967 and that season leading the club to its first title in 12 years.
He also captained South Sydney to titles in 1968 and 1971.
He was inducted into the National Rugby League Hall of Fame in 2008
