Always liked John, I remember at Motherwell College in about 2001 we had to research something local history related and a group of us chose MFC. As part of our research we contacted the club and they arranged for us to go and have a chat with John Swinburne in his office.
He had lots of stories to tell and you could tell he was a proper fan. Sure he said he hadn't missed a Well away game since 1976.
The book is excellent also.
