I know he was the chairman throughout the 1980's, and handed over the baton at the end of that decade. Not sure when he first took over the role. Respect to him and his family, all contributors to the great club we all support.

I don't have any earlier programmes but he was already chairman in the first season under the new club name (1980/81). He continued in the role until 1988 when **** Donohue took over followed by Don Broomfield.
We owe a great deal to all those who looked after our club through the early years.
Edit - curse the parental controls and its ****.

I thought that John went to live in Spain after leaving the chairman's role. I read the obituary in the Echo, but at that timed was not certain it was him.
Hope the funeral goes OK.
