I met John at a food festival in Chelmsford a couple of years ago. Ironically, it’s taking place as I’m writing this post.
It was at the end of the day and I remember thinking “it’s Boycie, what’s he doing here ?”. We had quite a long conversation. He was absolutely charming and I bought a copy of his autobiography. The book is well worth reading. It’s honest, it will make you laugh and there’s some personal stuff in there that every man can relate to.
R.I.P. John and thank you.
