RIP John Mortimer

Announced on the club website about the sad passing of John Mortimer.

I never saw him play as he was just leaving as I discovered our club. He came through just after our 1st title win under Ted Drake until leaving under Tommy Doc's reign in 1965.

He was a terrific centre-half - upright, tall and brave - could play a bit too. Elder statesman to all the kids coming through under Tommy Doc.

Great servant. RIP Percy
