John Benison arrived at Fitzroy from Reservoir Old Boys and went on to play 52 VFL games and kick two goals between 1966 and 1970. He played for the most part as a defender, where he was solidly reliable as well as, one feels forced to assume given how poor the Lions were at the time, extremely hard pressed.
