I've had the privilege to have known John albeit for only 10 years or so, he would turn out for me at charity events and was as professional as they come, lovely man.
Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time

ArseholeGod, he likes the sound of his own voice. Prattling on and on with his so called knowledge. It's about time these interviews with the fans targeted the new young blood, those that have followed a number of clubs so have a far broader understanding of the game...

Used to love hearing him commentate on Lancy, never knew he was a Blue though. Some really nice comments on this thread. Didn’t he do the pa gig at Old Trafford for a while? The proper Old Trafford

This is really sad. He's a top man.
I worked on the local paper and he always provided a piece on the Tameside Darts Leagues. Every week he would either bring it in personally or phone it through.
I remember listening to him, when he was commentating on the World Champs, and then taking his call an hour after he'd gone off air, as he dictated his copy. It didn't matter whether it was Taylor v Barney, or The Junction v The Kings Head he just loved the sport and promoting it.
Thoughts are with all his family.

Think he was joking mateArsehole
Yes. Admittedly not always easy to discern what's meant to be humour online, but the point about kids who've supported several clubs having a broader understanding surely marks it out as a joke.Think he was joking mate
Meanwhile, I used to interact with John on Twitter and always found that his graciousness matched his wealth of knowledge. I'm saddened to read the latest news as, based on his tweets, he always seemed to maintain hope even when things weren't looking good. May his last days be as free from pain as is possible when faced by this wretched illness.
