In recognition of his role as friend, mentor and coach, the trustees at Furman named the Furman rugby pitch John S. Roberts Rugby Field in 2009.
“John Roberts created my connection to Furman. Without the Furman Rugby Club, I don’t know what my Furman experience would have been like, but I do know it would not have been as rich. It would have lacked deep friendships, the competition I loved, and a lifelong passion for a wonderful game: all of these I owe to John,” said Furman Rugby Foundation President Trent Emeneker ’02. “While I am truly sad he is leaving Furman, I am eternally grateful for his friendship, proud to have played under him, and joyful for him as he pursues this new opportunity.”
