OTHER: He played for Fulham when they started up in London, I have played with and against some tough blokes but he was without a doubt the toughest I ever came across (glad he played for us) I saw him play for GB at Wigans Old Central Park Ground and he had the tough Aussie Les Boyd in his pocket, Boyd eventually "lost it" and was sent off for striking John who was smiling from ear to ear as Boyd got his marching orders, he was a skillfull player as well but he never took a backward step and would bash you hard in the tackle then beat you with a pass or his speed of thought, his best days were at Warrington but he was a popular player for all his clubs and a teamate you could rely on in a tough game.
