RIP Johnny Brooks

Sad to see a true legend has just died.
RIP Johnny, a great player, a lovely man and one of the RFC all time greats.
I was lucky enough to twice play in games with Johnny and even though they were light hearted affairs and he was perhaps 40 years past his prime he still had a trick or two

Made a big impact when he appeared on the RFC scene as a young player. Great skill levels. A refreshing newcomer at the time to a fairly ordinary team.

First Reading-born player to go on and represent England having started at the club. A good life, well lived and one worth celebrating.
