He was a thoroughly kind, massively intelligent and thoughtful man. He did a huge amount for the club - much of it unseen - especially during some of the darkest days in the 80s and 90s.
Different people such as managers came and went - some not as pleasant as others - but Dr John was always a solid pillar of decency and professionalism. The culture of the club remained sound with the likes of Dr John around.
So very sorry for his family. He will be hugely missed.
