JOHN SPINTER Died July 9, 2014.  Born 1954.  Guitarist and songwriter for Outfield. Their debut album, Play deep, went multi-platinum in 1985.  Their "Your Love" (#6 1986), "All the Love in the World" (#19 1986 and "For You #21 1990).

I'd never heard of him, but I bet he had some stories to tell and had to be really good to play with that many people.
