A true, loyal, kind and supportive family friend for over 60 yrs who worked tirelessly alongside Rafael when we first started out in the Bakery business. Your hard work and support
was invaluable.
Rest in Peace John 🙏

Some of my favourite memories are the times we spent together, talking about and watching the City. Whether they were flying high or testing our patience, John followed them with real passion . Win or lose it was never really about the football—it was about friendship , having a laugh and a couple of beers with his mates

I’ll always think of him when I hear Sky Blue songs or watch a match, and I’ll be grateful for the times we shared.

Rest easy, John—you’ll never be forgotten.
