My earliest memory of Millwall chairs was Micky Purser, and from him onwards none other had the class and respect carried by John Berylson.
Maybe it was unfair to compare his predecessors with such a colossus, but this man was meant to head a club in the Premiership and he only wanted his beloved club to reach such heights onto the stage that was meant for the likes such as John.
I can only imagine the hurt Johns family are having to cope with his massive and sudden loss, this man was irreplaceable.
Condolences and Millwall love to his wife, children and grandkids.

'Beloved' Millwall owner and chairman John Berylson dies aged 70 in horror car crash as Range Rover veers off road
Millwall's owner and chairman John Berylson has died in a car crash.

Heartfelt tribute very moving. I doubt any other Chairmen would go to these lengths to help a player. A great Chairman but an even better bloke.
Yes, very impressive and decent of him. Not only did he invest in business's he also invested in other humans. Would be so easy to sit back and enjoy your cash but he wanted to see others thrive and succeed too. I've been quite taken aback by the wide ranging tributes that i've read today. From former players to chairmen of other clubs. He was obviously a well liked and respected man amongst his peers.

Really awful and shocking news. Ironically got my latest membership card in the post this morning with a welcome message from JB. We know what a committed and honest owner and chairman he was – and how unique that is in football – but reading and listening to the tributes it comes across what a decent human being he was as well.
I know that the grim reaper awaits us all but an accident always seems the worst and most pointless way to go. Lost one of my brothers to an accident a couple of years ago and it gives you no time to say goodbye.
Thinking of his family and friends.

As I don’t have twitter, FB or IG it’s nice to read ex players testimonies to JB. Cheers Peckham

I’ve actually got a sense of grief today. It really is tragic, can’t stop thinking about the poor sod. Thoughts with his family.
