RIP John (Cardiff) Williams.

I'll check with his son Fitz and get back to you.

It sounds like November 4th Mate, but he will let me know by the weekend.

Wonderful post, Steve. Can't say that I have any memories of John "Cardiff" myself, but I was the (very) little lad who accompanied Jon Salsbury onto the pitch at half-time with the bin to ask the opposition captain (or star player) to do the draw, and was definitely there when Jimmy came to town - still have the autograph to prove it! He definitely lived in the shadow of the great Johnny Williams (one of our own) but it's good to hear that he enjoyed living his dream of being a pro footballer and being among us.
RIP Pilgrim

Does anyone have details of the time date and location of the funeral.
I live in Cardiff and would like, if possible, to attend.

You have a PM with details

Steve, I love to know how you browse Pasoti. 👍

Does anybody else think, that the photo in the Argyle v Exeter programme, (Life at Argyle), is of Johnny Williams, & not John L Williams. ?

Yes. They got it wrong. My mate showed me the programme and they've put in 'our' Johnny W. instead of John 'Cardiff' Williams. Unforgiveable!

If not unforgiveable, definitely careless. They had the correct one on the website.
