Hadge Johnson RIP

[levets]

I posted earlier on the thread , It is Hadge I went to the same school as, same year but Hadge was a bright Lad and was in the Grammar Stream Class , I was as doomed to the Beano B Class !. He wasn’t defined as a hard nut , but he wouldn’t step back and was a handful in a scrap, and in those days-plenty went on behind the bike sheds so to speak ! . Last time I saw him would have been in the Windmill after I was d-mobbed , he was in the plumbing then . There was only about 4-5 of us put our hands up to be a City Fan in the whole School , the rest were Rags and a couple of Latics Fans .Im all to glad he did witness City at the Pinnacle of English and European Football !!
Back in school mid to late 60,s we use to cop the lot ! as you can well imagine !!
I’m 72 now so Hadge would be in the same bracket . So Sad about this loss ,
RIP Mate

Are you Steve M? Audrey’s Husband? RIP Hadge x

Is there plans for a minutes applause at a specific time?

I think I’ve read that they are doing the usual remembrance thing for blues who have passed away this year, before the Everton game on Boxing Day.

I doubt they’ll be many there who don’t know at least one blue who’s left us at some point during the year.

Hopefully everyone can get there nice and early, even though it’s an early kick off and show their respects.

I doubt if any away game regular wouldn’t have known Hadge.

That was his brother Fred, Hadge did play play for the old house at home he was a left winger/ striker, top goal scorer and a great lad.

Top fella Hadge. One of the nicest blokes you could meet. Failsworth blue and clocked millions of miles supporting the blues over many many years. RIP pal.

I remember him sitting in front of me at Charlton away, his son is similar age to my step son and we were discussing how tough it was for them at school being surrounded by reds, seen him lots of times over the years always nod or say alright,I didn't know him well, but you can just tell when someone's a good guy. Rest in peace Hadge
