Nicky Johns
I heard on the grapevine and since had it confirmed that ex-Addick Nicky Johns lost his 26-year old son, Stephen, to cancer this week. Awful and terrible news and I am sure all Addicks' hearts go out to this brilliant ex-keeper and his family.
His football career ended at Maidstone United under Keith Peacock and although Nicky is a qualified UEFA 'A' standard coach, he was in a terrible car accident about 4 or 5 years ago and has been unable to physically coach. He was assistant manager at Erith Town, but recently worked for Crystal Palace's community scheme. ¶ 08:48
