Just read this very unexpected and sad news. A big loss for the world of show biz
I havent been on twitter for a while now, but John up untill very recently was quite active on it.

So sad to hear this news today. A great actor, good in The Sweeney and playing Boycie made him a house hold name with a character that earned a spin off show. RIP John.

Very sad news.
Bumped into John with Sue Holderness in Cleethorpes of all places, some years ago. Both of them had tons of time to talk and spoke as if they had known me for years; my youngest had a photo with them.
John had some great anecdotes.
RIP John.

Very sad news. I met him at a book signing a few years ago and he was a gentleman.
R.I.P John.
