REDOXO Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 John’s family lived two streets from me growing up on Bushy Hill near Guildford. There were about 500 Chelsea fans at primary school. One Bristol City fan as well RIP John! I was only chatting about you at the weekend! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Another passing that makes me feel old. (Which I am). Always seemed like such a nice bloke whilst simultaneously working for Ken Bates. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Really nice guy, and an excellent footballer who epitomised Chelsea....and played 744 professional games in his career. What a special guy and fantastic character, who would be worth £30 mill plus in today's market? RIP John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun fact: Ian used to be the landlord of the Cross Keys just outside Taunton when he packed in playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hertsexile Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 I watched John play against Bristol City back in 1972 in the Gordon Parr testimonial match my first match at the gate. Great to see that Chelsea side which included Osgood, Hudson, Chopper Harris etc. John Hollins very much the unsung hero of that team a true legend RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
