Terrible news. My favourite Leeds player. A player with real style that was rare when he played, almost non-existant today.
RIP John.

I too had the privelege to see the great man at his peak and even when he had lost some of his pace he could still break defences with a superb ly timed pass.

Looking forward to a great tribute to a great player on Friday night.

My condolences to his family and friends
