John was a giant and gentleman of Non-League football and a true legend of Dudley Town Football Club. He was also a thoroughly nice and kind individual as well. Both a football and family friend, he will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
