I once went with John in his car to Macclesfield with a young Earl Priestley, when we got parked up near the ground the club bus arrived and John ran off helping the kit man with the basket into the ground, me and Earl never saw John again until after the game, he is a great bloke and have got to admit I have never seen anyone eat so many chocolate biscuit bars, he must have had 4 or 5 packs of 5 over the 2 journeys, I don’t know what as gone on but it is no way to treat a dedicated clubman for numerous years.
