R.I.P. John.

A wholehearted player from an era that brings back fond memories

I remember John as a player in teams who played against my team (Walsall) in the late 6o's / early 70's.

A fine player and coach/manager later in his career. R.I.P.

I remember him too! :(

He went on to be a manager, including at Man City for a brief period:

I trust there will be a minute's applause at our next home game.

Cheers to you, John!

Just heard of the passing of John Benson. Very sad as I remember John playing in the same 60s team at Plainmoor as Robin Stubbs, Billy Kitchener, Micky Cave etc. Class act and a great manager later on. RIP John and thanks for the memories. :(
