Same age as me. Remember playing against him in the Lincs County Cup many moons ago, so has struck a chord with me.

RIP John.

Part of the Town squad that came very close to going from Divison 4 to Division 1 in successive seasons, although he was only a peripheral part of the squad.

All the same, that was my favourite time watching Town and I have fond memories of him in a black and white shirt.

RIP John.

How very sad, much too young. He was a Sheffield lad I think. Unfortunately, though he had a good left foot, he was in competition with a legend in Bobby C. for a first team spot.

I knew John and his family. Even though I haven't seen him for about eight years, lost touch since I moved away, his death has really shocked me as the last time I saw him he was as fit as a fiddle and looked nowhere near his age. Had a decorating business based in Donny where he lived and was assistant manager at Armthorpe Welfare FC for a good number of years. Unlucky to be at GTFC when we had really good players in his position. Proper football man who was good fun to be around.

Really sad news..
RIP John
