John Lunn - Leeds City

Just heard the sad news that John passed away in his sleep on Monday night.

John was a well known character in West Yorks athletic circles and a good friend to many people down at Spen.

John was passionate about his beloved Leeds City A.C. and would be seen at many events 'encouraging' the Leeds runners to perform to their maximum.

What a lot of people may not know is that John was an extremely talented athlete in his earlier years and his performances would have won many a race in more recent times.

John's enthusiasm for the sport never waned and recently was still trying to capture many of the Leeds City age group field event records.

I know he will be missed by many many people throughout athletics.
