Met John through football, played together, managed together and watched together. Enjoyed many ‘a hearty discussion’ that was never far away. Taken far too soon, RIP my dear friend.

Know John for a long time now. A very nice block. Even turned up to games when he must have been feeling down. Always enjoyed our trips with Carlo to Germany. But my best memory of him was going to a big game wearing his claret and blue tamashanta asin some of the photos in this post. I am sure your memory will live on for a long time. Till we meet again

We hope that you find this tribute to John a place of comfort, support and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
