The obituary notice of John Albert STAFF

As a familiar face at Glanford Park, you always made my match day John, from when I was a very young age going to Scunthorpe with my dad, to when I went to matches on my own, I always made sure I got a half time raw chicken from you and were always so friendly.

In later years I have brought my own son to games and we would always stop to talk all things Scunthorpe with you. The history and knowledge you had was fascinating. I only very recently managed to buy a book from you which both my son and I have thoroughly enjoyed and it was great talking with you about how the club was formed.

You'll forever be in our memories, our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

Up the Iron!

John was a great Instructor, wonderfully enthusiastic and full of fun.
Thank you John, may your rest peacefully following a life lived well.

I knew John for many years as longstanding supporters of Scunthorpe United.
Living down in Northamptonshire I
always looked forward to meeting up with John on matchdays to share reminiscences.
He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him but he will never be forgotten.
His legacy at Scunthorpe United will continue.
Our thoughts are with Christine and his family

Very sad to hear of John's passing he was a colourful character eccentric in a good way and I found him a very interesting person. Scunthorpe United has lost a club historian and a very dedicated supporter I still have his signed centenary book he wrote and published what he didn't know about SUFC wasn't worth knowing. Thanks for the colourful memories I always smile when I hear a story about you John you were a real one off now the final whistle has blown sleep well Mr Scunthorpe United.

RIP John , Thank you for being my brother in law ,my childrens uncle and friend. You were kindness and love when my daughter your niece passed. We will always remember you in our prayers .God speed. Pat xx
