    RIP, i met John in Sydney at an England training session, he was walking up and down the touch line, learning the Australian team names and pronunciations. I think he was a bit shocked that someone recognised him. He was very polite and asked me who i supported , Port Vale i answered, he just smiled, great commentator, the voice of my childhood, top bloke, RIP John
