That’s sad. Sad at any time, but 58 is no age.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Not someone I knew but taken too soon. Rest easy John.

RIP John. Condolences to the family and friends










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

RIP John, 58 is no age to pass away. I'm sure you're in a better place. Hope the club remembers your 40 years of service.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

This is sad news.

I have known John for almost 40 yrs. Havent seen him in a while as i dont live in town anymore. Think it was a pre-season at North Ferriby a few years ago last time we chatted.

Lovely guy who will be sadly missed by those who knew him. My condolences to his family.

RIP mate.

Sad news, I don’t recognise John, always horrible when a fellow Town fan passes. Condolences to John’s family.


Grimsby and proud!

Genuinely nice bloke. He was my head Steward when I started at BP. Under his guidance I progressed and  became Head Steward in the Pontoon for a few seasons, and when he first become ill, I took over his tenure on the CCTV for a couple of seasons when John Tuke was in charge.

He was GTFC through and through. I hadn't seen him in about 15 years but I will always remember him as a joker.
