| Quote: inside man "Gave me one of my greatest nights as a Wakey fan and helped the club survive through its most difficult period in history, Should be some kind of life member for me. Thanks JK. Just as a side point when JK was announced as coach i was devestated, i thought it was a shocking appointment at the time and he has proven many wrong with some great times over the the last few years. JK I love you man.'"
Just goes to show you know nowt Mick!!! With six games to go in 2006, he was the only man who could have got us out of that mess!! proven to be the best man to be our in coach during his time although his time has run out and we move on. Thank you John Kear for all your hard work over the years and all the best for the future.

| Well done John Kear! You worked a miracle again this year but unfortunately we obviously expect more than that at Wakefield!

| Well done JK and the lads today. Once again last day survival so to speak. Never finished bottom still.
they've produced another minor miracle tonight and for all his faults theres not so many other coaches who could have got us off the bottom tonight. Go away with your head held high JK, I and many others have bagged you in the spur of the moment reactions, lookinmg back on the bigger picture you are a small part of Wakefields history and cand be considered our best coach to date in Super League regardless of the brand of rugby we've played. Fitting way to end his Wakey career. Bet Cas are gutted tonight they thought they knew that our taunts of never having finished bottom would finish tonight, unfortunately for them, they haven't!

| Finishing anywhere other than 14th is another miracle produced by John Kear. Thanks for everything over the past 5/6 years, we do genuinely appreciate it. All the best!

| Quote: REDWHITEANDBLUE "I would personally like to record my thanks to JK and his backroom team for the last 5 years or so.
It has without doubt been a roller coaster. Sport like fans has short memoties basically the last result and the next game the rest is history!
What a roller coaster this has been the highs the season John came and we kept our SL place. getting to the semi final of the CC the play off games aqll great memories
The lows some of the tonkings we have had but all clubs get thrashed, this season where I believe the staff have had a hand in not two tied behind their backs as far as experienced playing staff were concerned, on a hiding to nothing we have however won 6 games and that could be 7 tonight (most fitting)
The dignity of Kohn and his leadership with others I might add through terrible times and terrible news in particular deaths of players s
well said, Thanks John without you we would not have survived that first season, the tragedies etc. Good luck in the future., Sue Parker

| Cheers John and good luck in whatever you choose to do next, it's been a rollercoaster of a ride while you've been here but I've had some real great memories to savior. It's a real shame these last two years have had more downs than ups and that's been mostly out of your control but again you've done your last game of the season magic again, Thanks a lot mate.

| Good luck JK, hope you enjoy a successful future whatever path it takes. Not may people could have kept this club together with the loss of 2 players under such tragic circumstances and the the financial constraints faced especially the budget given by the previous regime for this year. Travellimg to Cardiff we didn't know if we would have a club to support in SL and everyone said we would finish bottom but you proved them wrong. Well done to you and well done to AG for having the courage to take over a SL club.

| Good luck & thankyou for the last 6 seasons. A lot of people will remember the Cas game as been your finest moment but for me I think the win at Odsal was the defining moment. I remember after the game all the Wakey fans were delirious after the final whistle beating one of the top 4 on there own patch, but I remember JK been calm & just saying that the jobs only half done (the only cool calm Wakey person in Bradford)
He has also seen more adversity in his Wakey career than all the present SL coaches have seen in their coaching lives, with the sudden deaths of 3 players, needing to get 6 points out of 10 in his first 5 games, administration/points deduction no money & staring down the barrel of losing out on the SL franchise, he has seen it all.
So whatever JK does next in his life (bear baiting ,crocodile hunting etc) I`m sure he will find it a lot easier than coaching Wakey.

| There have been some memorable times with John at the helm - from that first night at Cas winning with only 11 men.
A CC semi-final and a play-off were the undoubted highlights but there have been a number of great (and unexpected wins) e.g. first match at Wigan following Adam's death.
As the public face of the club John brought us through the tragic events of 2008 and 2009 with great dignity.
Thanks John and good luck with whatever you do in the future.
