I suppose there are not that many of us who remember Johnny, I was only in my teens watching him play many times for the old Dagenham FC club at Victoria Road, he was always well liked amongst us supporters for his huge work rate who never gave up although on the small side he was tenacious, I remember walking around the back of the Bury Road end with my brother one afternoon as the players were warming up practicing shooting, when Johnny booted the ball past the r.h. side of the goal only for the ball to hit my brother full on the bonce and sent him flying Johnny leapt over the wall and came over to my brother to see if he was ok which was very nice of him, although his shooting could have been a bit more accurate he was still one of our favourite players in the team R.I.P.
