John was well known to the lads in and around the Drakes Drum having lived much of his life in that part of Great Barr.
In recent years John also worked in the game that he loved as part of the Scout 7 business, supporting scouting and recruitment for professional clubs. There was a mention in yesterdays programme.
John's funeral took place on Friday. a great turnout and a proper sendoff of which he would have been proud.
