RIP John.

A really nice person. Met him at many City matches. He was a regular fan home and away. Always loved talking football. His family were great as well. One of the City family. RIP

Sad news travelled with John from London on numerous occasions and saw him at loads of aways. A top blue and always came across as a decent man

Always came across as a nice fella. R.I.P John.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

A regular at away matches. Always polite, a nod of the head when he saw you. Massive blue, will be very much missed. RIP John, condolences to all your friends and family.

RIP John

 

[threespires]

Bumped into him a few times over the years. Never seemed to mind being recognised and always friendly /polite but without any airs and graces about him. Just a down to earth blue following the boys like the rest of us. RIP.

 

[Northerndave]

A top blue and a top man. Always there at the Emirates and would have been there today if well. RIP Stapo and condolences to this family.

RIP John, true blue.

 

[Bozzie]

Used to see him on many occasions at away matches. He was always very personable, definitely ‘a fan’ not a ‘celebrity fan’. RIP John, condolences to his family and friends.

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Always seemed a nice fella

Roland Rat always used to call him Staplegun

 

[Citycity76]
