Big Jan originally from Yeovil and a keen supporter of its football team. Bet he's smiling down on them now they have been promoted. Jan was 3F messdeck killick when I joined the Y in 1968. A genial good hearted lad well liked by those who knew him.  And like his photograph he seemed to always have a smile on his face.
