Ex-Staff John 'Magnum' Clinkard

Really sad news this.

I was a patient of his in private practice for a number of years for various running related injuries and not only was he a superb physio he was a really top bloke who spoke fondly of his time at Oxford as well as when he worked at Everton and Wimbledon having some really good stories.

RIP John
 
Was there any acknowledgment for Clinks at today’s game?

It’s a tricky one knowing when to acknowledge the passing of someone previously associated with the club - in a non playing/managerial capacity - with a minutes silence or applause. I’m sure there must have been something for Ken Fish at the time but I can’t remember it. You’re going back 30-35 years here in memory of a former physio - there will be huge swathes of our fan base not even born or too young to remember. Those that can remember will be 40 plus. I think in this instance it’s probably the right call for the club to remember him, as they’ve done, with a written tribute.

RIP though and he will be well remembered by those of us old enough.
