About Max Elliott
Lived 1929 – 1988 (aged 58). Max Elliott was a rugby union player.
Francis Maxwell Elliott (20 December 1929 – 23 March 1988) was an Australian rugby union international.
Elliott was born in Sydney and educated at Scots College. He had to play his rugby with a built-up left boot, the result of a childhood injury that stopped further growth of his left leg from the knee down.
A prop, Elliott won four first-grade premierships with the University of Sydney and also played for Eastern Suburbs. He was first called up by the Wallabies for the 1952 tour of New Zealand and gained further experience on the 1953 tour of South Africa, without appearing in the Test matches on either tour. His solitary cap came as a loosehead prop against the All Blacks at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1957, filling in for Nick Shehadie.
