Tributes to 'amazing' Scots dad, 40, as family ask for Edinburgh derby applause

Tributes have poured in for a dad-of-three who died suddenly at his Edinburgh home, leaving family and friends heartbroken. John Arthur was tragically found dead on Thursday April 13.

The 40-year-old, who worked as a tiler, was described as a "brilliant dad" and a "perfect gentleman" who would do anything for his friends and family. He leaves behind sister Mary, 47, his children Chloe, 25, Louise, 19, and five-year-old Joshua as well as nephews Jordan and Brendan, reports Edinburgh Live.

John, from the Insch, was a lifelong Hearts fan, and fans at the Edinburgh derby this Saturday, when Hearts travel to play Hibs, are being asked to clap in the 39th minute in his memory.
