The very one, God rest him. Actually his son, also John, is the frontman with an excellent local covers band called the Lollygaggers.

john the Man - there's a blast from th epast. Everybody listened to him.

My 2 favourites there (not football related I know)

"Hello to all people in hospital and to all normal people as well".

Reading the death notices with somebody else. "Joe Bloggs" "Joe Bloggs is dead - I never knew that What did he die of". "I can't remember but it was nothing serious"

And don't forget that he finished the obits off with "Thank God nobody we know".
