Thanks - that is an excellent summary.

I was 8 when I started watching in 1975, and I now realise John Bond is the reason I grew up thinking Norwich in top flight football was the natural state of things. I was angry when Reeves was sold and disgusted when he left for Man City, but I guess Bond is the reason I go to Carrow Road and expect to be entertained. With Ted, Charlie and Martin it was pretty much guaranteed.

And yes, Kevin was not sh!t. He was a young lad starting his career, and the ideots latched on to him purely because he was the boss' son. I loved him right off.

Thoughts are with Kevin and the rest of the family. John will never be forgotten.
