John Bell (born 1938 Glasgow) and former football player for St Johnstone and Raith Rovers in Scotland played with Juventus from 1965 to 1968 when he retired from football and returned to Scotland.  At St Johnstone he was in a team managed by Bobby Brown who went on to manage the Scotland Team up to 1971 and was a team-mate and good personal friend of Sir Alex Ferguson who subsequently managed Manchester United.  He really loved his time in Australia, both playing football and living in a brave new fresh world that was Melbourne at that time.

John unfortunately died suddenly on 30 January 2016, around a month after the sad passing of his wife June in December 2015.  He is survived by his children and grandchildren.
