McLeod, John I remember standing in the holte end at villa park and the fans singing the rolling stones " get off my cloud " but turning the word " cloud " into " mc Leod" a great winger of his day .Thanks John .Rob Brown.

McLeod, John I was a financial adviser in Edinburgh in the 1970's and received a telephone request for a meeting from a life assurance company representative. I tried to put him off until he told me his name...Johnny McLeod!

Being an ardent Hibs fan with a soft spot for the Arsenal I have often since reflected that I should have had the decency to send a taxi for him. I knew Johnny for a brief period in business.

His good manners,intelligence and modesty matched the great skills and style I had often seen on the pitch.Wherever he is,I hope that he and his family are well.

McLeod, John I was in the RAF at Kinloss with Johnny, who was playing with His there, and kept up with him after I joined the Edinburgh City Police. I used to meet him, after his footballing life, in Edinburgh when he became an insurance actuary there. I lost touch with him after he moved to live in Leicester. We are both in our 80's now, and hope he is well. My phone is 07713 154501.

McLeod, John I was a cabaret act and was Appearing at the Forum Restaurant in Glenrothes, and I decided to find accommodation in Leven. That is when I met Johnny and his Wife Vera at his guest house, His guest house was situated overlooking the sea and right next to the Golf course, he had 4 Sons and the name of the house was 'FORE BUOYS' which I thought was brilliant. Johnny was a total Gent and Vera and Johnny came to the shows to watch me perform, I would love to get in touch with him again him


McLEOD, John I was 15 when Johnnie came to Arsenal. I watched him in games and practiced his moves. When I first played for Islington, I led the opponents right back a merry dance, going past him using all the tricks I learned from him. I got rave reviews. Thank you Mr McLeod

Mcleod, John I was in the RAF with wee Johnny and we trained together whilst he was playing for Hibs. I watched him many times playing for Hibs and we regularly went to the dancing together. I would love to trace an old friend any help would be appreciated.
