Re: Super John
He could trap a ball further than most could kick it. No wonder he was so fast.

Re: Super John
When he was about to leave and sign for Cambridge, before coming back later of course, there was a guy in the Longside near to the front shouting at him one Tuesday night game as he was playing the wing…”John…JOHN…don’t go. JOHN, please don’t go” as Francis turned to see who was shouting. Stuck in my mind from being a kid.
Re: Super John
One of if not my most favourite Clarets of all time. His winner at York will stay with me until my dieing day. Legend ."They came to York in their thousands, they're going home as champions " All thanks to SJF.
Re: Super John
Nice video compilation of a Clarets hero.
That night in Plymouth lives long in the memory when he took their defence apart. Thank you Super John.

Re: Super John
Great video, is that!
He's not half responsible for some real classic Claret memories, is John, on our long trek back from the dark days.
Never had the pleasure nor privilege of meeting him. But only ever hear goods things from those that have.

Re: Super John
A good few years ago we were playing in s charity 5-a-side tournament in Leeds. SJF was playing for a Leeds staff team. We had a chat with him (we played in Burnley kits) and my mate asked him for an autograph, handing him the only piece of paper he could lay his hands on - a print out of this (that had gone viral, in the old fashioned way):
Fortunately he saw the funny side and happily signed it while ******* himself laughing.
