Local Brunswick boy John "Nooky" Swanson joined the Brunswick Cricket Club as a 14-year-old in 1955/56. After starting in the fourth XI, John had made his way to the First team by the next season. At 20, John went to the Essendon Cricket Club where he played 123 First XI matches during 11 seasons from 1962/63. One of his five grand finals for Essendon (two of which were successful) was the famous match against Northcote, when former Test captain Bill Lawry made an inspired 282 not out to win the game.

John went on to represent Victoria in state cricket on 29 occasions between 1965/66 and 1969/70. He joined the elite of all rounders by making both a century, a score of 156, as well as taking five wickets in an innings, 6/74 for Victoria. His fielding was extraordinary too, taking 47 catches in 29 matches. After returning to Brunswick in 1974/75, 'Nooky' played a further 18 seasons in the first eleven, which included three premierships and a championship win. In the 1987/88 championship final, John made 100 and took a vital wicket near the end as Brunswick dismissed Altona to win by 15 runs.

In 1962, classmates of the Sedden Tech institute, John Williams (lead guitar), Dennis "Nooky" Stott (drums), Harry Leki (bass guitar), and Terry Rouse (keyboards, rhythm guitar) formed a band known as the Young Ones. For all the musicians, the ensemble was their first attempt at a professional musical career, and within a brief period they developed a sound rooted in rock and roll and blues. Soon, the band was enamoured with the music of The Shadows and Bill Black, both of whom they incorporated into their live repertoire. As the Young Ones operated on the local dance club circuit, the band transitioned through several bass guitarists, and would not retain an enduring bassist until the group reorganized into Larry's Rebels.
