From his obit in the Guardian..

Sir John Graham, the former All Blacks captain, rugby administrator and educator, died in 2017 after a short illness, aged 82.

Graham, widely known as DJ, played 53 times for New Zealand, including 22 Test matches between 1958 and 1964. He captained his country on 10 occasions.

After retiring from playing he returned to his former calling in life and went on to become headmaster at Auckland Grammar, a post he would hold for 21 years. In 1994, he received a CBE for services to education and the community.

He also had a spell as manager of the New Zealand cricket team – during which time he oversaw the team’s first Test wins over England at Lord’s and The Oval – and later became president of New Zealand Rugby.

Graham was also known for his anti-apartheid views and expressed his uneasiness at touring South Africa with the All Blacks in 1960. When South Africa played in New Zealand in 1981, Graham declined to attend matches.

He was named New Zealander of the Year in 1999.
