John was like a big brother to me. He was ten years older than me and I thought he was the coolest person ever when I was a kid. He took me to see Town, he taught me how to play football, and we had hours of playing subbuteo together at Crosby Road. More recently we went to Old Trafford together. He was just a great guy. I wish I had made the effort to come and see him more. I will really miss him.

A fond memory of mine is growing up in Crosby Road with Johnny, Brian Hutchinson and others. It always seemed Johnny was older and wiser, yet he wasn't! We would play lots of games in the street; Dustbin ', 'Kick Ball Fly', and Johnny would be an active participant but not that competitive as I recall. A gentle soul, he made an impression on the kids around him.
