Just imagine him as the target man in AN's proposed 4.3.3 system. Yes but if he hadn’t sadly passed away he’d be too old I think. Which is why I said imagine.

And he didn't stand in the six yard box on corners letting players push and shove him..... edge of the penalty area,and take a run at it,and god help anyone who got in his way,we miss the likes of big John,I also think he came back a better player from Sheffield Wednesday.

A true gent. Remember him once hospitalising a young fan after accidentally hitting him in the face with the ball. John visited the lad ad NSRI and took a load of stuff for him. That wouldn’t happen today would it?

I have vague memories of this article, I’m pretty sure Ritchie took up cycling in when he was trying to get over a broken leg
