Very sad news indeed Legion.

Very sad indeed

very decent man. I only saw him what seems a few weeks ago in our local supermarket. A huge man who loved Rugby more than football
A very decent and considerate guy to work for. There will be a good few match day staff upset at this news

Condolences to his family

A big man in every way. I echo everything Hooky said and he was always great to work with.

I'm sure he would also smile when I say so THAT'S who you are. I did wonder.

Put his picture up when the Ellis minutes applause is being forced on everyone.

I see no need for a comment like that.

He knew nothing about it until you asked him and blew my cover.

RIP big man,always came across as a genuinely nice person

[wittonwarrior]

Think it helped in that he joined as an outsider and not as an avid villa man. Lost a good man. RIP big John
