Farewell to The Willows 2011 from Salford City Reds on Vimeo.

John has been working at The Willows, home of the Salford City Reds since 2008 and has become a familiar face around the ground.

John started working at the willows as a DJ in the variety centre on match days entertaining the kids and families who were in the suite before and after the rugby matches. In 2009 Salford City Reds won promotion into the Super League and won a trio of trophies on the way. Along with the rugby teams promotion John was also promoted to the executive area on match days to entertain VIP guests on match days in the "Lowry" and "Platinum" suites.

Along with entertaining guests in the hospitality area

John was honoured to be asked to sing on the pitch before two Super League matches the first being against Wigan on the 20th March 09 to a crowd of over 7,500 and the second against Huddersfield Giants  on the 26th June 09.
