He'll be up in the p&b place in the sky there along with Jock and others.
The last time I saw Johnny...he'd passed out in the stand.
He'd done that previous though. I would guess he would miss taking his medication occasionally.

Yes he did do a bit of whistling.

We used to get him to lead us in a stand song.

Remember him in the Cup at Bradford away in 1990 he led the Wire singing. I'm guessing he will be mid 50's now.
May he Rest in Peace.

Yes I remember him. Sad, he cannot have been very old. Loved his Wire and always one to start a song. Used to stand near him in the Fletch.

Remember him from the Fletch days. Sad to see another Wire character pass away.

very nice fellow..sure he lived in bewsey..a great lad wouldnt harm a fly and very approachable rest in peace mate

One of his best fletch songs from the 80's to HKR fans-

'Rovers, rovers, give us a cod
Rovers, give us a cod'

Legend

He must have had a thing for hull kr

" Hubbard, you're a cupboard" will always bring a smile to my face

RIP Johnny. You and that flag of yours. May you start Warrington songs up there forever

And the old 80s British Airways song of "we'll take good care of you"...
He said "we'll kick feck out of you...Hull KR Hull KR"!

Yes he had it in for KR for sure.

went old trafford for a gb v aussie game and johnny was on the train with us..he said whats the difference between a coppers truncheon and a magicians wand?????????????ones for cunning stunts..wont tell the rest of the joke..he had that carriage in stitches

I was in that carriage too.

He was singing, to the tune of my old man's a dustman...
Meninga is an Aussie
He wears an Aussie hat
and when he wears it back to front
he looks a trucking pratt.

The last two words have been slightly changed.

The things you remember!

Johnny would tell people he was a computer operator, not sure if he was or not. I sat next to him for Bradford away in the 1990 cup run. I remember somebody asking him if he was from Winwick and Johnny then hit him on his head with his walking stick.

.....he answered in binary then.
