John Carr has been with the Cardinals since it took form. If the Cardinals pack their bags, you can count on John Carr to be onboard. Where? and When? is all John needs to know;he shows up ready to play. John is a versatile player at lock,hooker,occassional flanker,and can play prop if you put a gun to his head. Very loyal to the interests of the Cardinals,impeccable planner,generous to the club,if John says he will do something;he will. We owe much to John.
