John Elliott

Club President: 1983-2002.

The Blueseum intends to undertake extensive research to outline Elliott's commitment to the Club from the 1980's through to today. Suffice it to say we can't wait until the project is complete.

In early 2007, Elliott apparently played an instrumental role in securing the services of billionaire Richard Pratt to return to the club as president. Elliott also returned to Carlton to chair a new coterie group at the request of Richard.
