RIP John Bond

[Cricketphilly]

A real character sadly gone. Used to see him at Bournemouth at Saints away weekends as a kid

[Foxstone]

Yep a football man through and through with great charisma to boot...

 

To quote him " I'm as sick as a parrot" to hear this sad news..

[mesaint]

R.I.P. John.

[the stain]

Rest in peace

[Whitey Grandad]

Ah no. All the old familiar faces are leaving us.

[hutch]

Yep, R.I.P. John

[Miltonroader07]

Yeah go along with that, Top Bloke

[Golac's Cunning Stunts]

A scholar and a gentleman! RIP John another one of the old school gone.

[Dalek2003]

Very big name up here in Norwich. A real character.

[ART]

A true gentleman of soccer. Thoughts are with all the family, you'll be greatly missed.

 

Today's game owes a lot to the legacy of John Bond. R.I.P. John.

John bond good lad . My recollections of him was that he missed out on the next Peter shilton . I was a goal keeper at the time and went fir a trial with Bournemouth and boscombe when he was there somehow he and his coaches made me play centre forward . I'm no outfield player . So they never saw my ability as a gk . Such is life . RIP john

When Kevin Bond was here or just after he'd finished didnt John Bond used to run a greasy spoon cafe/caravan thing down on Nursling Industrial Estate????

 

With moving house today and missus due to give birth next week I have to confess my brain is a it addled, but absolutely positive he used to run it.

 

RIP John Bond

[rooney]

Always liked him. Last saw him a couple of seasons ago at SMS when we played Norwich.RIP.

[Dimond Geezer]

Possibly the last of the cigar chomping, sheep-skin wearing managers to go.

Yes he did, terrefic bloke

[Fan The Flames]

Nice bloke, RIP JB. What old Saint did he sign three times?

Phil Boyer?

[Golactico]

He and Kevin also used to deliver Sandwiches to an office block I worked at in Southampton in the mid 90s. Was a bit bizarre buying my cheese & Pickle sarnies from someone so relatively famous. Shows how the money in football has changed in a relatively short period of time. Somehow I can't imagine that Harry Redknapp is currently hawking butties around the office blocks of Bournemouth.

 

'What sandwiches have you got left Harry?'

 

'Well, y'know, I'm down to the bare bones.....'

[Fan The Flames]

Phil Boyer?

 

Yes. One of my school boy hero's.

Trench coat or black leather jacket more likely.
