John was 89 and had taken on the role that he did so well in 2000, on the death of Stan Tacey. He also served as announcer at the home games and was a well known, highly respected and much- loved man.
He was both a gentle man and a gentleman, always happy to have a word. He always treated me with courtesy when I met him, while I gave him the deference that was appropriate for someone who gave what he did to the club that he loved.
He never really got over the loss of his wife, Ann, a few years back and they will doubtless be reunited now.
Rest in Peace, John.
