🧡🖤 RIP John Blackwell…
John’s daughter Katie says:
“It is with great sadness that we are letting you all know that John Blackwell “JB” aka Mr Boston United has passed away in his sleep with wife Maureen at his side aged 77.
“He is greatly loved and will never be forgotten by wife Maureen and daughters Lisa and Katie.
“Boston and the whole football community has lost a wonderful man, icon and legend.
“He dedicated everything to Boston United and is black and amber through and through, it was his life and forever love.
“We are thankful for any well wishes. But at this difficult time could you please respect the family’s privacy.”

When myself and @AuzzyMcCann played with Gazza at @bostonunited he was also addicted to wine gums. 😂 He would eat at least 8 packets a day of wine gums or sport mixture. 🫣

Listening to @maitlis talk about wine gums reminds me of my own addiction to one specific brand… I used to buy a big box at Joburg airport en route to Zimbabwe during the worst of the crisis there and eat them as a comfort when things got a bit edgy… 1/2

On this GTFC day....@onthisGTFCday
22nd September 1993 - Some interesting names in the programme from the reserves trip to Scunthorpe in the Pontin's League. That's got to be Chris Freeston(e) of Northampton fame hasn't it? Had been banging in the goals for Arnold Town in Nottinghamshire. #GTFC
