In the mid 1980,s I was a regular at Panthers nightclub and almost every week John would be downstairs in the nightclub, in his wheelchair always smiling and known by many. I applaud you John for your courage and endurance to be successful in life. You are an inspiration. Cheers John

I remember as a player seeing you at panthers not that long after your horrible injury. If fact your smile inspired me to have a go at the game myself.
I wish all just got back on our “ bike” again like you John.
My career has been pretty good as inspired by true HTFU men
