He was well known around Tipperary for coaching soccer teams around the county and also for his work in promoting the game as a soccer correspondent on Tipp FM, along with many other roles in the sport.

Speaking on Tipp today, sports broadcaster Stevie O’Donnell says John will be a huge loss:

“He’s going to be a huge loss to the people of Thurles as well because he was a great help to many businesses and many sports organisations.

“Even Peake Villa now, I was looking at a post that they put up last night on Facebook and they were really saddened to hear of John’s passing because he was a great coach, a really good coach.

“He knew his stuff and that was the most important thing.”
