RIP John Berylson - A true Millwall legend!

[northern lion]

Devastating news. Like everyone else on here, we all agree he was the best Chairman ever. A true gentleman. Once we get over the terrible shock, we must all pull together and try to deliver promotion in his honour. Also rename one of the Stands in his name as a lasting legacy.

Terrible news. John really has been absolutely brilliant for us. He will be hugely missed.
RIP.

R.I.P John, the very best chairman we have EVER had. Thoughts and prayers with the Berylson family.

So sad RIP John

 

[Supporting Millwall]

Such tragic news.
Rest in Peace John.
Condolences to his family.

Gutted, met him a couple of times an absolute presence in the room.
RIP

Devastated. A man who didn’t need the baggage that our football club come with, but took it and thrived on it. A lion in every sense of the word. Love and thoughts to his family at this sad time. We will never forget you Mr Berylson, may you rest in peace

Perhaps we could demonstrate our feelings and wishes for his Legacy by re-nameing the stadium. The John Berylson Arena or similar.
Sadly missed but never forgotten. R.I.P.

I was thinking the same but maybe a stand or the 1885 club- or the new training ground would be fitting. You would like to think what he achieved will continue. Whatever, he should be honoured by the club. I have no doubts they will. Certainly the fans will.

I’m stunned

In 70 years of following the Lions, the worse Millwall news ever

Massive condolences to his family . I pray for them and the future of our beloved club

Worrying period ahead

RIP John and thank you

Will always be a Millwall legend.
Rest in peace.

Agreed, one stand left to be named and it should be named after him as he always had time for us fans, posed for a picture with my son a few years ago and also made time to speak to me. I shook his hand and thanked him for all he was doing for the club. Top bloke and a true Lion, it was a privilage to have met him.

R.I.P. Mr John Berlyson and condolence to his family. In my 57 years of following the club the best chairman we ever had.

 

[BrianLion]

Awful news, my sincere condolences to his family. I had the pleasure of meeting him once a gentleman and genuine man. What he has done for this club is remarkable and way beyond what we could have hoped for or a had right to expect. His passing should absolutely be marked with a gesture that will stand the test of time, the training ground and or a stand.
What ever the future holds for Millwall it is because of him that we actually have one.
God bless and R.I.P. Mr Chairman

 

[Polegate Lion]

I’m shocked to the core by this terrible news. The epitaph I would
Inscribe on John’s headstone would read…….

“No One Likes Us But Every Millwall Supporter Loved John”.

RIP JB.

 

[ballsey]

Really sad news
And condolences to his family
I’m quite stunned and he will be sorely missed at Millwall

 

[robbo555]

I'm just numb at this news. Shocked, sad, disbelieving but yet so grateful for everything Mr Berylson did for our club.

Something has to be done to commemorate forever his legacy at Millwall. He deserves that.

 

[Millwalljohn]

What a terrible loss for his family and the club, I'm seriously lost for words.

Thank you for all you have done for our club and you WILL be missed.

R.I.P and God bless you

 

[Sober_Lion]

Sad news, RIP John.
