Jon has a long involvement with all aspects of supporter representation and the supporters’ trust movement, having been a founder member of STAR (Supporters’ Trust At Reading) in 2002 and subsequently a board member for 8 years. Many years earlier, though, in 1983, he was one of thousands marching behind a symbolic coffin as Reading fans protested the proposed merger of their club Oxford United to create a “Frankenstein club” to be known as Thames Valley Royals.  He was elected to the National Council of the Football Supporters’ Federation in England in 2005, and as the organisation’s Deputy Chair two years later, a role he held for five years and in which he was involved in all aspects of supporter issues and campaigning.  A prolific blogger, he has also written and self-published his first book: “The Sum of the Parts” – an in-depth analysis of the record-breaking 2006 Reading team.

A self-employed IT Project Manager, Jon is experienced in working within a number of large multinational technology companies, and relocated to Scotland in early 2015. He now considers himself a Leither, even though he’s “no from Leith”.
