My old primary school teacher at Athelstan - incredibly man, inspirational, warm.
Always kept in touch with his old students to ask of our development. RIP Mr Kear
The RFL today pays tribute to John Kear, who died suddenly on Sunday afternoon returning north from Wembley, having been part of the BBC’s commentary team for the Challenge Cup Finals
Our thoughts and condolences are with John’s wife Dawn, his family and friends
@AndyHutchYPN Mick Stoddart, great man brilliant referee. I worked at the FA and he would pop through most Fridays to drop in all his previous weeks disciplinary reports. Saw him 3 years ago, still refereeing, still brilliant with the lads.
@JackForest1865@XtraLeicester Recovery for us was yes getting back to the PL, but the largest part was recovering trust in the club, in each other. The infighting that follows, the failed owners, the stay aways under protest vs the loyals. It’s all just shit mate. Dont wish it upon any fan base
