Timeline

1934

Montague "Monty" Porter PSM (1934–2011) was an Australian premiership winning and state representative rugby league footballer who played in the 1950s and 1960s.

1954

He played schoolboy rugby league at Tamworth High and later for East Tamworth, where as a twenty-year-old he turned out against the touring 1954 Great Britain side.

He played for Thirroul and Wests in the Southern Division.

1955

After an obligatory period national service he arrived in Sydney in 1955 getting a start in the NSWRFL Sydney competition with Western Suburbs.

He spent the season in reserve grade making just four first-grade appearances that year.

1956

He was a second rower with the St. George Dragons during their eleven-year premiership winning run from 1956 to 1966, playing in six winning grand final teams.

He left the club in 1956 after spending the first six games of that season in the lower grade.

He trialled with Thirroul in the Southern Division using a false name to circumvent the residential qualification rules of the time and spent the rest of the 1956 season in their top grade.

1957

He moved to the St. George club in 1957 and was called into the first-grade team during the 1958 finals series at prop-forward, helping the side to their 3rd successive premiership.

1959

He cemented his spot from 1959, enjoying great success as a second rower.

The club won the premiership every year he was at the club.

1960

He made one representative appearance for New South Wales in 1960.

Porter was the winner of the 1960 award for his grand final performance against Easts.

Sports author Larry Writer describes Porter's role in the elite Dragon's side as "a tradesman in a team of stars, a self-described 'plugger' who did his job each game with minimum fuss and maximum efficiency" whose primary job was to "tackle, tackle, tackle" and whose dependability was highly prized by his teammates.

Writer suggests that such specialists hadn't come into vogue in the 1960s in Australian rugby league but by the 1970s at least one such second-rower was a critical for every successful side and players such as Steve Folkes and David Gillespie are examples of those whose playing and later coaching careers were forged entirely on their defensive capabilities with playing styles similar to Porter's.

1966

In 1966 he signed for the newly formed Cronulla club and became their foundation captain in their inaugural year in 1967.

1967

He was the inaugural captain of the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in that club's foundation season of 1967.

After football, he had a successful career as a Sports Administrator.

1970

He won a job managing the New South Wales State Government's sports administration arm Sports House which during the 1970s and 1980s provided free administration facilities for amateur sports.

He progressed to the role of assistant director of sport in New South Wales which he held for four years.

1973

He remained actively involved with the club as chairman of selectors and under-23s coach until 1973.

1983

In 1983 he became a member of the first ever NSWRFL Board of Directors.

That same year the NSWRFL found itself administering the Cronulla Sharks when the club ran into financial difficulties; Porter accepted a post as President of the club from 1984 to 1988.

His son Michael made 154 first-grade appearances for the Cronulla club in an injury-affected career between 1984 and 1994.

Monty Porter had suffered from Parkinson's disease for some years before his death.
