John Uzzell

I've just noticed that he is included in the image on the official website for the story about the tie-up with Princess Yachts.

Cracking player who scored in the first-ever Argyle game I saw (3-0 v Stoke City in March 1988).

Crazy to think that Gary Blissett incident which ended his career is more than 30 years ago. I'm definitely getting old!

Yes I noticed that as well.We could do with one or two more like John who would provide more physicality

He was always a favourite of mine. I loved his courage and commitment, you really felt he would run through a brick wall for the sake of the team.

John Uzzell, Gerry McElhinney, George Foster; the ball might have got past them but the man wasn't going to

We’re the same age. I played rugby and football against John at school. He was at Plymstock I was at Plympton. He stood out and was involved with Plymouth Schoolboys as were a few lads from my school.

If in doubt kick it out! Good player.

Uzzy was left back when I started supporting Argyle. Hard as nails!

Never gave less than 100%

As an Argyle fan living in Kent, my family and I were visiting Home park during the summer whilst in Plymouth. Must have been sometime in the early nineties. We walked into the ground and were by the bottom of the Mayflower watching the grass being cut when John Uzell walked across to us and started a conversation. He then took us on a tour of the old Mayflower Grandstand. He also found and autographed an old training shirt for me to take back home for my father. A really nice guy who went out of his way to spend time with us. A great memory from the past.

Did hospitality the day the Mayflower re-opened (v Swindon). Ended up on a table with him and his wife, Crudgington and Tynan. Uzzell was a complete gent. A lovely chap, happy to talk and share stories and really open and generous with his time. We all really liked him. Good day that was.

Bonehead! Did a decent job for us but would not make it in the professional game today

A bit harsh. He's far from that.

A bit harsh. He's far from that.

That was his nickname. (By the fans that is, not by his mum or close family I doubt!)

Why?
