Played in some very memorable games did John,over a long playing and coaching career with us.
A leader of men, and along with long time team mate,Tommy Preston,a mentor to many young players who came through the door at Hibs.
A True and Faithful Hibernian was John Fraser,and has a deserved place in our Hall of Fame.
Sincere condolences to John's family and friends,
RIP John Fraser


Edit:
John shares some memories in this Scotsman interview.
He talks of not winning the Scottish Cup and the interview is in that very year !

Not-So-Special Six loved playing with Famous Five ...

JOHN Fraser should really harbour less-fond memories of the Famous Five than most. After all one of them, the great Gordon Smith, kept him out of the Hibernian team, writes Alan Pattullo.

A guid article Mick, a very interesting interview with John who, despite being such a talented player, was always so very humble.

He was a distant relative. RIP John, a fine Hibernian.

I remember meeting John and Tommy Preston on a Corporation bus after a Derby at Tynecastle. They autographed my copy of the Pink Paper. Different world, eh?
Funnily enough I thought of him as a right back, rather than a winger. He played along side McClelland in front of Ronnie Simpson and behind Preston, Jim Easton and John Baxter.
Happy days.
RIP.
