Quote " We as Spurs fans should be proud to call John one of our own" He never played a game for their first team. At least he made 9 appearances for us. So not really "one of their own"..

I posted the link as it's the only write up I could find.

Time to bash the club for not having a write-up and why is he not listed in Forever (95 is forever) R's

Bastards.

Found the programme of QPR Reserves v Swansea Town Reserves on 30 October 1948 in the Football Combination in which Johnny Gibbons is listed as Centre Forward.

Until my son comes round, haven't got a clue as to how to attach it to this exchange!!!

I think it's kind of cool that they acknowledged his longevity - more than we did. I love the casual approach back in the day, the way he 'played a few games' here and there for various clubs. Not burdened by legally binding contracts - simpler times.
