Karen 4 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hi, I'm sorry if this is off topic for this forum, but I'm trying to get in touch with John Dempsey. It's for family history reasons - John is my husband's second cousin. I appreciate that no personal details can be given out but if anyone could point me in any direction I'd be most grateful, and happy to validate my inquiry. Many thanks and here's hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Wikipedia led me to an article which said he has been working at the Springwood Crescent Centre since 1988. Maybe you can give them a ring? Springwood Crescent, Edgware, Middlesex, South East England, United Kingdom HA8 8FT 020-8958-8123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can make out this was the Broadfields Resource Centre which was sold on in 2010 for housing (nothing new there then!). I've tried the number but it doesn't connect. John will be 70 now but could well still be involved in this area, I really don't know. It was Barnet Council who handled this so I'll do a bit more research there. Thank you again.

Yeboii 1,844 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Have you tried getting in touch with Chelsea about this? Tell them you want to send a fan letter or something like that. However, if you are trying to get money or something out of him, then leave a 70 year old man alone! Doubt he has anything worthy anyway, since footballers did not get paid as much then as they do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sent an email and awaiting response but that doesn't seem hopeful. As I said in my earlier post, this is a genuine inquiry and I'm prepared to provide information which would support that. I assure you I have no intention of asking him for money!! There are, to the best of my knowledge, only two members of the older generation of the family still alive. I was hoping that we may be able to make contact before the opportunity to do is passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,314 Posted November 14, 2024 Share Posted November 14, 2024 RIP John Dempsey John Dempsey, who has died aged 78, was an uncompromising central defender with Chelsea when they won the FA Cup in 1970 and the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1971. Although most accustomed to clearing out attackers and winning balls with his aerial power, Dempsey made significant attacking interventions in both those triumphs, in particular during the European Cup Winners’ Cup final replay in Athens against Real Madrid, when on a rare excursion into the opposition penalty box he came up with a crisply struck volley from 12 yards to set Chelsea on the way to a 2-1 victory. He also contributed a headed goal in a fifth round defeat of Crystal Palace during the victorious FA Cup campaign of the previous year.
