Great to chew the fat with footballing legend of my youth John about all things Newcastle United, grassroots football investment in North West Durham and England’s Euros and World Cup hopes.
John is an ambassador for the Football Foundation who have backed tens of thousands of pounds in spending in grass roots football in both Consett AFC and Crook Juniors in North West Durham and I’ve been delighted to have backed their bids.
As for John, he’s a fantastic goal scorer, even better bloke.
