Like a lot of clubs we feel like one big family. John was like the lovable old uncle who kept everything in check. Everyone was always happy to see himAddicksAddict said:I have many Millwall family and friends and they are all devastated by this.

Although still at Lewisham my time at Millwall was done when he took over.
All my colleagues that met him told me he was a breath of fresh air there.
Such tragic news.
May he RIP ❤️0 -
Very sad. We can only dream of an owner like him. RIP1

Terrible news. A very solid custodian. RIP1

Terrible news. We don’t have enough truly benevolent owners in the game and John Berylson was quite obviously one of the good guys. Rest in Peace John.1

So sad. Condolences to John’s family. RIP1

RIP John and condolences to his family including all Millwall supporters2

Such a weird feeling.
For me, our biggest rivals, hate the club, and hate the fans (not individuals obv). He's brought them stability and was steering them to great things leaving us quite far behind.
Yet, I honestly feel gutted to hear this news. I hope his family and the Millwall fans find some comfort in the fact even us lot are upset by this.

The best Millwall owner they ever had

He will be truly missed by them
Rest easy John Berylson1 -
Just caught up with this awful news. Really I can only echo what SE10 says. Most upsetting.
RIP Mr Berylson.0 -
Damn.. RIP, what a tragedy, hits you right in the gut that our time could come at any time.0

In a sport where grifters and charlatans seem to be the type of owner most clubs get, a gentleman like John Berylson was a real gift to the game, and given our own recent history, it was clear Millwall had not just an astute caring owner, but someone who genuinely appreciated the fans and their support. A sad day for football in general, and a terrible time for his family and friends, as well as everyone associated with Millwall FC.
RIP John, and thoughts for all who knew him.6 -
I think this sums things up perfectly for me. He was certainly one of footballs good guys.SE10Addick said:Such a weird feeling.

proper football club owner .. R I P2

Bro-in-law dropped round my nephew this morning, he's been a Millwall ST holder for years. He was close to tears when he was talking about him. Proper upset. He was out last night and I'd forwarded him the club statement. I felt terrible breaking news like that to him.
One of the best owners in the business, who actually got the fact the club is about the fans.
I think all of us can agree we'd like the likes of him at our clubs.
RIP John.11 - Sponsored links:

Any indication as to what will happen next, does he have a son or someone to pass the club to? Or will it likely have to be sold?0 -
Early days but the word was he had been priming his son up to eventually take over the running of the club. Like John, his son and wife hold a deep affection for the club. The last thing we’re all thinking about at the moment but I’d like to think the family will carry on Johns legacy.Chris_from_Sidcup said:@Big_Bad_World
