A complete entertainer, absolute loved it when we out the ball out to him. He was their when we were on the way up and in our best years IMO. Everybody will have a story to tell and fond memories of JJ. The word legend is over used today but IMO JJ, you were just that. Will never forget our first game for many years against our neighbour at The Victoria Ground when Vale were attacking the Stoke End where we standing. Peter Fox rushed out towards the paddock with a view to kicking both the ball and JJ into the paddock and JJ just skipped round him with his magic left foot.

God rest your soul, thanks for all the truly memorable incidents that you gave us, always indebted to you. My thoughts are with your family RIP JJ

This photo sums him up for me. Defender going one way, JJ going the other as he dips his shoulder...

Jinkin John of whom I have fond memories. JJ also played a few games at full back. 

RIP

He did, Oldham away he played left back with Steve Guppy at left wing.

A few years before I'm pretty sure he played a ZDS Cup match at left back. This would have been when Darren Hughes was injured and we had Gibson, Agboola and Platnauer on loan.

He was brilliant towards the end of the promotion game at Brighton when we were 3-1 up and running down the clock. I'm not sure it comes across as well on the video but anyone who was in that corner of the ground will know what I mean. He was taking the mick a bit and living up to his reputation.

There was a great interview with him in an edition of Seth. I hope someone can track it down and scan it.

Think that might have been where JJ then crossed it into the area for Ronnie Jepson to have a header into an unguarded empty net, and he somehow managed to hit the bar?!

Rumours that Jeppo had a Stoke tattoo despite him being at Hysel 

But yes it's definitely that moment Playa was on about

Yep, I could have jumped the railings and knocked that in, would have made Ron a hero forever!
