Rest in Peace.
Even my grandad, an avid Birmingham City supporter, talks about him in generous terms.

I am 51, he was my Dad’s favourite player – Dixon, Talbot and Tate! I had the immense and undeserved pleasure of playing against him when he played for the Villa Old Stars. Even at 57 he was amazing. He played till he was 72. I told him about my Dad and he was gracious and kind. A real gentleman. Thank you Johnny, Thank you for everything
