Good player in my childhood days; days when most kids could tell you every player, and sub, of every first division team. Wasn't his son a BBC Sports News presenter back in the day too?
He once stood near us in the old brewery stand, someone on the pitch spotted him and John went down to the wall and shook his hand and had a quick chat.
I only know of him from doing the hospitality gig at Fulham. I think they have a stand named after him too.
