Didn't know John but had heard of him and what a good manager he was.
Fond memories as a teenager of seeing Manchester United 1st team coming to play Greengate United at Holker Steet though.
some testimonial that by a very proud son;

Uncle of 2 very good friends of mine and 1st pub i drank in was the Albion when i turned 18 as I played Sunday League Football for them.
Was always happy to share his stories from his football days.

First player to score a hat trick in our non league days. RIP John

Remember watching John when he played for Barrow, training with his Ormsgill Sunday league team and playing a few games when he managed Barrow Celtic with Terry Boyle. Remember a Barrow Celtic team talk in The Albion John and Terry both wearing Malcolm Allison style fur coats, two great characters. RIP John.
