Barry John RIP

Passed away today aged 79, A true Legend in every sense of the word

Always sad but seems extra poignant when it's an absolute (not supposed) legend in his game...

RIP, Barry John; this is one even you couldn't sidestep...

One of the greatest amateur sportsmen of all time. Met him once,a real genuine fella.

R.I.P .....had privilege of playing football against him in gwald y garth and he scored against me from 20yrds ... true legend.

He actually gave me and teammates a runners up medal for a five aside tournament held at the national sports centre back in the eighties alongside J.P.R. Great pair although I never understood why they were at a football tournament?

R.I.P.Used to see him in quite a few locals in cardiff
beverly cathedral rd
City centre
The borough
Old arcade
Always had a paper
Thing he liked the horses
Always seemed quite chatty with anyone but usually was on his own.
Another star gone out.

Sad News RIP .

They broke the mould of solid gold that once made Barry John.. line always stuck with me. Proper gent..

He was a very good footballer could have played at high level as I discovered .
