I first met him about 60 years ago when I used to watch the City training in the school holidays and he would be down there every day. He had the same hair style then, there was just more of it.
I grew up in Aldsworth Road, which is just off Western Avenue. Used to see John running or on his bike all the time around there. I said earlier in the thread he might have worked on the bins. Definitely worked for the council though.
Think he made a significant contribution to signing Phil Brignull, as the club couldn’t afford him.
