He's been here a long time, I remember playing against him circa 2009 and his father was a fixture for Marlborough sides in goal (and something of an urban myth - there's a story he chased a referee around a pitch trying to assault him).
No myth, happened at Ensors Road when Marlborough were playing Christchurch City in either 2000 or 2001. The ref was Warren Potter, I was at the game covering it for the old Star Sports. Was banned 'sine die' and was later reduced when he got involved with coaching.
You've made my day
Do not think the ref was chased around the pitch. If I recall correctly was going to be shown a red card and as the ref was walking towards him he took a couple of paces towards the ref and punched him on the nose before he could e restrained by him team mates as the ref was trying to back track.
I think Johnny regretted his actions as soon as it happened.
