Said to be a crock and a risky buy. Ha ha how wrong were the doubters. A player for all seasons. Passing, inspiring, leading and dishing out the occasional clobbering. Unforgettable character.

I can confirm that Don Megson is indeed still with us @Eggs. This picture is from John Quinn's 80th birthday in May, (courtesy of Sheff Wed)
Megson I know attended. (I think that may be him to the right of JQ who is seated)
Some others in attendance that some oldies may remember - Barry Murphy, Colin Dobson, John Dungworth, Gerry Young, David Gibson, Trevor Swift, Graham Birks, Duggie McMillan, Don Megson, Peter Eustace, Brian Joicey, David Ford, Sam Ellis, John Breckin, Quinny, Gordon Simmonite, Ronnie Glavin. https://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/topic/272687-johnny-quinns-80th-birthday-party/
John Quinn is a cousin of mine.
John Quinn is a name that won't be familiar to many on this forum, not even to many of the 'older' members who frequent this great thread. He had a long, if unremarkable professional career, the highlight of which was undoubtedly that he played for Sheffield Wednesday against Everton in the 1966 FA cup Final.
Although most here may not remember him, he was a boyhood hero to me. He was my cousin, and I looked up to him and admired him as any 10 year old lad with a relative playing top class football would.
Sadly he passed away yesterday aged 82.
RIP 'The mighty Quinn'
