Premium Content Jaycar owner and colourful multi-millionaire Gary Johnston has died. Johnston, who founded the electronics and components retailer in 1981, is understood to have passed away on Wednesday. Mourners took to social media to pay their respects, with former employee and family friend Adrian Gilchrist writing of his broken heart. Gary Johnston picked me up the first time the job market chewed me up and spat me out back in 2005. He welcomed me into the Jaycar family (more than once), Mr Gilchrist wrote on Facebook.

Footy star Adam Elliott sent his former teammate a text apologising for betraying him the morning after kissing his fiancee at a boozy housewarming party.
Ex-Bulldogs hooker Michael Lichaa and his partner Kara Childerhouse had invited Elliott over to their new home in Connells Point, in Sydney s south, on February 13.
But at 4.30am the next morning, Lichaa woke up to find Elliott - who is also in a long-term relationship - making out with Childerhouse on the back deck of their home.
Elliott, 26, a Bulldogs second-rower, has largely refused to talk about what happened that night after both the NRL and the club deemed the matter private.

Reason: Iâm going to take the Storm even though I think the Rabbitohs and the Raiders are the teams to beat this year, Sattler said on
