[edit] Expanding this article
In view of the sad news today of Johnny's death I'm going to expand this stub over the next hour or so. I'm going to keep an eye on this page, so please post here if you want to do something yourself. --Ormondroyd 20:51, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
...okay, done for now --Ormondroyd 21:54, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Timelines
There's been a bit of early confusion as to the date of Johnny's death. Seems now that he died on the evening of Tuesday 18th (see numerous news sources) after an accident on the 17th (as discussed by local Edinburgh football fans here. Worth keeping an eye on this as the facts emerge. --Ormondroyd 06:02, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
He was in the car with "The only woman he ever loved" - can this be substantiated, or is it based on the opinion of the writer of this article. Surely such a statement is conjecture at best? It must certainly be somewhat belittling to his first two wives and any children they had.
[edit] The petition?
I'm willing to have this reverted but I've removed the details about the tribute petition. The club opened this to wide consultation and invited emails, letters, etc. The decision unless I'm very much mistaken was taken as a result of a wide range of communication from fans, and there isn't any particular evidence that I'm aware of that a single petition was any more significant than any other organised or individual communication. It just seemed a little unencyclopaedic to assert its significance in this way... that seem okay? Ormondroyd 14:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
