Wow I'm amazed John was a really nice dude. His first wife died in tragic circumstances, but he soldiered on I remember once one of the paper delivery lads who fancied himself a bit, nicked a Mars bar when John's back was turned When we came back from delivering the papers, John handed out the wage packets. 'Oh' he says to the lad, 'by the way I've taken the money out for the Mars bar you forgot to pay for earlier' Class act That was just the first time he took me to the Vale; went to a lot of Wednesday night games with him Not sure if he's still alive Big de

What's the name of the ground? The postage stamp? Points-with-Bone
