He always came across as a nice person. It's odd but I remember him playing for Chelsea but hardly at all for Arsenal.

Another Footballer I delivered the post to when I first left school, he lived along bickley park road in Bromley, lovely house and a lovely bloke from what I remember when I had to knock, especially as I was a bit star struck

Made in Bromley

My brother in law is a Chelsea fan and used to take me to watch them for a season or two in the 70’s but I would only go when Palace was away. Hollins was such a good player and complimented the stand out players like Osgood, Hutchinson, Hudson and Cooke. He always put in a shift and was a smooth skilful midfield player. I used to stand at the shed end and never cheered a Chelsea goal but smiled if the opposition scored :-) My brother in law began to understand that I didn’t like Chelsea and it continues today. However, I doubt I’ve seen two better club forwards than Osgood and Hutchinson. Bright and Wright come to mind as I type this. Also, they had great service from Houseman who didn’t get the recognition he deserved in my opinion? RIP John Hollins and thanks for the memories

At one time he lived near me in Murray Avenue in Bromley.

Lovely guy.

I never had the pleasure of meeting John Hollins but have perused the reports of him being a wonderful person.

A wonderful person and wonderful player who served Chelsea,Arsenal and QPR with distinction.
My thoughts go out to all his family and friends.
RIP.
