I was an engineer with BP Tankers in the early 1960's running into the Isle of Grain and I used to watch the Gills if they were playing.
John Simpson and Brian Yeo were playing at that time.
I moved to Gravesend in the early 1970's and, to my surprise, John Simpson and Brian Yeo were still playing!!!

I was going to say I remember his as something of a super-sub from the 1980s, but having Googled him, that can't be the case.
So, who was the regular sub with the similar name? Or have I invented the whole thing?

Where are you Sharpie? I will never forget a away game at Bristol I believe. Where gills scored a long range effort from the left hand side John was about as far away as you could get when the tannoy announced the goal scorer as John Sharp he punched the air as if he had indeed got it.
