    picked up a 1953 edition of Soccer Star on Ebay, JC on the front cover, question was asked of him what position he preferred and why, article by a guy called Lee Norris, i know what he preferred to play but to the old and bolds who saw him play, what position would you have liked him to play?

    It would depend on the situation I would play John at centre forward in the first half let him score a brace and then play him centre half to stop the opposition scoring in the second half he was that good!By THE WAY Juventus often did this during his stay.Matt Busby when he picked the best team ever picked him at centre half and centre forward I still don't know why he didn't buy him and big Jack TO THIS DAY

    When my dad used to talk about him it was always as a centre forward!
