[GB Alty]

http://www.runcornlinnetsfc.co.uk/news.asp?item=07012016191800

[Sarf London Alty]

Some great tussles against John Carroll sides over the years and some top players referenced in that article too. A true football man.

[taxi Phil]

Very sad news at only 57 years old.

[Mrs Warbouys]

RIP John, as I mentioned to Jamie earlier a name synonymous with our younger days watching Alty, and far too young to go.

[AltyTunnelSteward]

Very sad news indeed.

A "proper" , old school player and, like most of them at the time a proper nice guy to boot

RIP John.

An archetypal uncompromising centre half, whom I first saw playing for South Liverpool circa 1983 when they were managed by Kingy and George Rooney.

RIP - a well-respected character from many memorable Alty v Runcorn duels of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Here he is in a South Liverpool team photograph from Saturday, 24th October 1985 (alongside some players with connections to the Robins):



Back Row (l-r) Kenny Meadows (Asst Manager), Dave Higgins, Barry Whitbread, Tony Dunn, Russ Hughes, John Carroll, Laurence Iro, Mike Thomas, Cliff Roberts (Manager)

Front Row (l-r) Euan Simpson (physio), Joe Rice, Tim Rutter, Ronnie Kilshaw, Joe Rice, Steve Joel

Steve Joel in that picture works at Arriva Bootle i have some good chats with him when i'm there with my job he spotted my Altrincham fc pen.

[Bangor on Dee Robin]

Great memories of him at Runcorn and as one part of the McKenna-Carroll double act at TNS (New Saints), worth the admission fee alone to hear the banter and one-liners directed at the officials and anyone who dared barrack them . Many thanks John

As well as Barry Whitbread, Laurence Iro also played for us.

As well as Barry Whitbread, Laurence Iro also played for us.

As, indeed, did Tim Rutter (ex-Runcorn right full back), who recorded two appearances for us during the 1982/83 season.

I also think that the Tony Dunn pictured might also be the same one who made just a single appearance for Alty as a used substitute during the 1985/86 season.

Memories of when i first started following Alty the references and Carroll himself.

RIP

Euan Simpson may well have been our physio too at some point.

I think that he was physio for the Birmingham FA Cup game & FA Trophy win at Wembley against Runcorn in 1986.
