Jan Porter's Life in Angling, part 2 

Just watched pt1 & pt2 again, Jan was a Huge inspiration in my match fishing, I wanted to be the Man in Red at my club at 19 years old. I remember driving from St.Helens to Nottingham on Saturday and Sunday to watch him at Holme Pierrepont. Cool, Class, Humble. Rolls Royce thru & thru. Sadly missed, forever cherrished.

Happy memories when I won 2 tickets from Angling times to go to tackle mania. My son went with me and we had the great pleasure of meeting the Gentleman Jan Porter. Treasured memories as I still have the photo of Gentleman Jan and my son. RIP Sir. And thank you so much.

just found this,,i had a long time out of angling due to the useual reasons but back in the day, my late wife suggested I get back into angling so off we trotted to a "fishing show" at Donnington park,,,i wandered around and ended up at the shimano stand and was approached by a chap who politely asked me if there was anything he could help me with,,,we gotinto conversation and he gave me a few tips on this and that and off home we went.....a while later,at another show we met the same chap again and we had a further chat about river fishing,music etc and I still didn't know who this fella was,as I have said ,I was out of touch with the angling world and was just finding my feet again.anyway,to keep it short I finally found out who this guy was and what he had achieved in his angling career,it was a great pleasure to have met him and shared time with him,thank you jan

So honest so humble and just a good guy. Great angler and sorely missed. Cheers Jan 🍻 🎣 🎸

only just found this, sad to find Jan has passed. I worked with Jan when we were both Tin bashers at Rolls Royce in Hucknall. I remember the brave leap he made to give up his job and a steady income, to open his first shop. The guy never had a bad word for anyone, if he could help you would. One of life's best. RIP old friend.

R.I.P Jan the man in red, a nottm and worldwide angling legend 🎣🙏

R.I.P JAN. A very nice man.

RIP Jan and thanks for passing on the love for a 6oz perch for the next generation. Your Dad is proud and so are those that knew you mate.

Gone but never forgotten. RIP Jan
