Johnny Smith was an Australian rugby league footballer of the 1940s. He played for North Sydney and Parramatta. He was a foundation player for Parramatta and played in the club's first ever game.
Playing career
In 1947, Smith joined Parramatta who had just been admitted into the competition. On April 12, 1947, Parramatta played in their first ever match as a club against Newtown at Cumberland Oval. The game finished in a 34-12 defeat and Parramatta went on to claim the wooden spoon that year after winning only 3 games. Smith went on to play another 3 seasons with the club as they struggled near the bottom of the table but nearly qualified for the finals in 1949 only to miss out by 2 competition points.
