    An absolute legend. His book is wonderful too.

    Did anyone see him on Soccer AM maybe a year-18 months ago? Was asked 'What's the best shirt you've got from an opposition player hanging in the house?'

    He responded 'Well, i'm not being funny, but why would i have football stuff hanging up, i'd rather have photos of my kids and family'

    Hero.

    Anybody watch him on the BT Sport q&a on periscope ?

    The producer behind the camera kept trying to wrap it up and John kept saying we not going to talk about Lenny? He finally got to talk about it and absolutely nailed how pathetic the Huns are.

    Ended the stream by holding his fist up the camera and saying "mon the hoops" :56:

    Absolute hero.

    Good man, BBJ! And fair play to Sutton also, not letting the segment finish without a Lenny question and BBJ in particular really strongly supportive, with Sutton very simply 'yep, totally agree'.

    Love that man. And good for them for persisting with issue instead of it being swept under the carpet.

    What a guy. Refuses to bow down and he makes sure to make a point about the abuse Lennon receives over 90 minutes, then finishes with a "mon the hoops".

    I love big John, absolutely love the big fella.

    A gentlemen of the highest order, one of the nicest players you could have the pleasure of meeting and sharing company with and I genuinely mean that. The big man would stand all day and night signing autographs and chatting with fans if he had to.

    His love for us even to this day is heartwarming, seeing him still say 'we' multiple times when referring to us shows how much he's taken us to heart as a club during his time here. He may proclaim Swansea are his club, but you can bet we're not that far behind them in the affection he feels for us.

    Big Sutty as well tbf still has the bug for us too, think it was after our fourth goal when he said 'CL Here We Come' haha loved that from Sutty.

    Also good to see Big John stick up for Lenny, a real mate is big Hartson. He'll always be part of the 100 club as well, great for him to have that place in our history.

    Think it was Ntcham's goal he seemed to make a mad noise as if he was stopping himself from going mental.

    After that and shouting mon the hoops during BT's q&a he'll probably not get invited back :56:
