ART Posted 26 September, 2012 Share Posted 26 September, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 26 September, 2012 Share Posted 26 September, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golactico Posted 28 September, 2012 Share Posted 28 September, 2012 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.....' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
