John has proved his ability at spotting young raw talent and nurturing them to become winners by taking a side with an average age of 24 to the Nationwide Conference title in 2007. At semi-professional level, his record is second to none with Isthmian League and Southern League title successes at Leytonstone Ilford and Dartford. He won the Conference in 1989 with Maidstone United but decided not to go full time and instead moved to Redbridge Forest where he won another Isthmian League title. Having managed the side to successive top six finishes in the Conference interest in him gathered and the lure of a Football League management job finally took him to Peterborough in 1994. In League football John has also managed Barnet, had a spell coaching at Lincoln City and was assistant manager of Bristol Rovers.
He returned to the Daggers in April 2004 and used the experience gained in the ten years he was away to outstanding results.
As a player, John's career was cut short by a knee injury after playing for Orient, Dagenham and Bishops Stortford, where he won an Amateur Cup winners medal in the last ever final.
