Reflections from Club Chaplain Reverend Tony Cotson and former Hull FC captain Danny Houghton are included, as well as a detailed look back on Johnny’s life and career.

We take a look at Johnny’s relationship with West Hull ARLFC, whom he helped set up in the 1960s, as well as a feature looking at some of the best players Johnny played alongside during his career.

The programme will be on sale around the ground, as well as from the stadium retail store.
