“John has thrown himself whole-heartedly into supporting Everton’s charity and community initiatives,’’ said the club. “He takes a genuine interest in everyone he meets.
“All through the season the club invites supporters who are ill or suffering difficult circumstances to Goodison Park every match-day. John always has time for the visitors and plays a big part in making sure they have a special day."
