Sad news Johnny as passed away wilderspool legend

Yes I heard the other day johnny Warbo passed. He is a fan legend.

It's Warburton by the way.....Johnny Warburton.. Fletcher Street legend

Was that the chap with the distinctive whistle?

The guy with the learning difficulties always wore his Warrington coat glasses loved a good sing in the fletcher st end , really nice fella had time for everybody

He'll be up in the p&b place in the sky there along with Jock and others.
The last time I saw Johnny...he'd passed out in the stand.
He'd done that previous though. I would guess he would miss taking his medication occasionally.

Yes he did do a bit of whistling.

We used to get him to lead us in a stand song.

Remember him in the Cup at Bradford away in 1990 he led the Wire singing. I'm guessing he will be mid 50's now.
May he Rest in Peace.

Yes I remember him. Sad, he cannot have been very old. Loved his Wire and always one to start a song. Used to stand near him in the Fletch.

Remember him from the Fletch days. Sad to see another Wire character pass away.

very nice fellow..sure he lived in bewsey..a great lad wouldnt harm a fly and very approachable rest in peace mate

One of his best fletch songs from the 80's to HKR fans-

'Rovers, rovers, give us a cod
Rovers, give us a cod'
