John who has spoken at Fahan was a footballer before his downward relationshiop with drink. Below are brief details.
An intriguing book, of which one of the co-authors is John Cartledge, who played for the club in the late l960s and early l970s and was the first team's leading goal scorer with l3 in l970-7l and 25 in l97l-72.
Sadly, John, who also turned out for Northwich Victoria, developed alcohol problems and, as a result, used to frequently appear before Warrington Magistrates' Court, where he became an acquaintance of the other co-author, John Hayes, who was a clerk of court.
Now, with John Cartledge a reformed man running a Christian book organisation in Ghana, and John Hayes retired, the two have got together to produce "Alcohol - Thriller or Killer."
The book can be obtained from Mr Hayes, l5
It is a good read that also mentions some of the town's other sporting stars.
Cartledge's son Steve maintained the Town connection, playing for them in recent seasons.
