John Black was brought into Harchester United for £250,000 from Leyton Orient to add some experience to a young and often vulnerable Dragons defence.
Within weeks of being in the Harchester United first team, Black had already been made apart of the first team coaching staff and was also made club captain in place of Karl Fletcher.
Black's great defensive ability and experience guided Harchester United to a 6th place finish in the Premiership and the FA Cup Final for the first time in the club's history.
It was at that 1999 FA Cup Final that John Black would play the best and final game of his life. After leading the team up the famous steps of Wembley to lift the FA Cup, he was shot dead just minutes later.
