Rip John Riley Snr bypass06

[glen9mullan]

Sadly last night John passed away , I will miss him greatly a true gentleman and real character .

John will be remembered by many supporters as Chicken Head , the guy with the mask which became quite iconic during the protest movement .

He was always on hand to offer support and I'm totally devastated for his family

Sleep tight big man , you will be truly missed by many whose lives you have touched

Extremely sad news

I knew of John without knowing him but never knew he was bypass on here

I'm sure pictures of him in that mask will be used for some time

Rest in peace John

Bloody hell what a shame :/ RIP big man.

[Andy]

I never knew him, but my thoughts are with his family.

In John and Warren, the Rovers family have lost two big personalities in the last week.

Sadly never knew him or met him, which feels weird saying, but, like other Rovers that have tragically passed recently, from years of reading this forum, he seemed liked a good bloke. Rip bypass, condolences to your family. Another loss to the great family of Rovers supporters.
