Our ex forum administrator Gary has requested I post the tribute to John. Happy memories of what this club was once all about.
I have just heard the sad news of John Langford's passing. John and Bob Langford were very kind to me as a child at Sandy Lane. I remember them letting me on the first team coach to away matches for free and always made me feel very welcome including me in banter.
John Langford was an absolute gentleman who always loved talking football. I was very grateful to him for letting me raise money for Vernon Francis at the London Cup Final. He even gave some money to the cause. Vernon was a Tooting player who done his cruciate ligament playing for Tooting. Tooting fans did a fund raiser organised by myself to pay for his operation for those new supporters. John Langford never forgotten! Thoughts are with his family. Best wishes Gary Walker
