No age whatsoever. He was a bugger for full backs.
RIP Johnny Jeffers

I don't know anything about the player, but I've read he was part of the Stockport side which made that amazing journey to the semis of the League Cup 24 years ago. I remember rooting for Stockport at the pub with my Boro supporting mate!
Any ideas of the cause of death?

Tragic. Very good player in a Vale team that were better than us at the time.

A very good,talented player during a 'golden' era for Vale.
Can remember standing at Vale Park,soaked to the bone,miserable as 'owt,watching him slalom his way through our defence only to hit the post with a rasper of a shot."They may be a bunch of unwashed c*nts but that deserved to be a goal.." was my mate's observation.
Much too young,RIP.

JJ was a very good signing for them up the road.
I think that he was a John Rudge signing from Liverpool ?.
Apart from our rivalry with our smaller neighbours I am sending my condolences to JJ's family at this sad time.
RIP JJ.

Awful news, as a Vale fan here in peace, we thank you for your respect to a great player. Any true Vale fan would be the same for any Stoke City player.
Good luck for the rest of the season.

I remember rooting for Stockport at the pub with my Boro supporting mate! Yeah, he was in the same Stockport side as Paul Ware for a while when they were doing well under Dave Jones. |

Jinking Johnny Jeffers RIP he was some winger tbf. He was that good that when any good winger (as I was😏) when I was playing in my illustrious career, had a good game I’d say “God he’s like Johnny Jeffers this youth”🤣 |

Was Guppy on the other wing ? as much as it pains me to say this you had a more than decent team back then just make sure you don't do it again  seriously so sad and no age at all RIP John. |

Nah Guppy on the left McCarthy on the right if I remember rightly. Jeffers I think was just before those? |

He always impressed me when playing for them in those derbys of the early 90s. One of those players i wouldnt have minded seeing in a Stoke shirt
