The late 1970s were tough times to be a Millwall fan, but one striker in the George Petchey 1979-80 season lit a flame that still shines bright to this day with a magnificent 21 goals that campaign.


Sadly the beauties were to be brief with us, as John moved on in 1981 - tragically to take his life almost a year later whilst playing at Colchester United.


This show features a conversation with his team-mate \'Red Card\' Roy McDonough whose book can be found on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Red-Card-Roy-McDonough-ebook/dp/B00UVUPJTG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=35I332UOPVFUH&dchild=1&keywords=red+card+roy&qid=1587554273&sprefix=red+card+roy%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-1
