John Fraser was a well known figure in and out of football. There are plenty of people grateful for his physio and advice. He played a big part in that period when we shot up through the leagues under Newman, Kerr and Booth. In those days the squads were unbelievably small compared to now and keeping them fit was a real full time job for John. Greatly missed. I hope the club will recognise his service.

Ffs a massive part of gtfc true legend. Even when he retired he stayed around and helped local footballers. Another one that came from far away (scotland i believe) but saw grimsby as his adopted home - how many people do that for a supposedly on its knees town... Sad news R.I.P.

I remember talking to John many years ago and he told me he had written a book about his time with the mariners and all the different managers he had served under but could not get it published due to the explosive comments. R.I.P. John a true town legend

Agree and great point about squad size. Fraser was physio when I started watching Town too and seemed to hold the esteemed post for such a long time. Agree that the club should find a suitable commemoration for him.

Surely the club need to mark his passing with a minutes silence on Saturday.

John lived not far from me, he had a dour way about him but always said hello.
Since I moved away from Gy I didn't know if he was in fact still alive, so sad news.

The one and only time I met JF was 1984 last game of the season v Chelsea . I was in the boot room and Kevin Drinkell was bollocking my cousin Neil Matthews ( apprentice) for not cleaning his boots correctly. JF came in just wearing a towel and smoking a cigar and diffused the situation . As a young lad I was speechless with all the expletives I was hearing ! RIP

RIP Fraz, lovely guy, genuine, quietly spoken and when he did speak it was well worth listening to. Nice family and condolences to them for their loss..
