In his book, John, who will soon be embarking on his 24th season as a reporter on Sky’s Soccer Saturday programme, has chronicled his undying love for Manchester City, his years of broadcasting on local radio, and recalls memorable encounters with legends such as Sir Mattv Busby, Bobby Moore, and Sir Alex Ferguson.
