John Campbell died at his Drumleck Gardens home in Shantallow on Wednesday.
John was a founding member of the Pride of Northside Supporters Club whose members followed Derry City all over the country.
John s death comes just weeks after the passing of Hugh McMonagle, another founding member of the supporters club.
Another well-known Derry City fan, Hugh Curran, also died recently, while former City player and long-time supporter of the club, Willie Curran, also passed away a short time ago.
Mourners at the funeral of Derry City football legend Willie Curran heard how his celebrity status in the city never diminished throughout his life.
Administrator of St Eugene s, Fr Paul Farren, recalled the many accolades bestowed on Mr Curran (90), decades after he left the Brandywell pitch.
Mr Curran passed away on Sunday night.
Fr Farren said: Willie was a character - a big character and a great character. In ways he was a celebrity in Derry and beyond with his giftedness as a footballer. Even in retirement, and right to the end, his celebrity status never changed. His achievements in football have been celebrated during his life, which is wonderful. In 2018 he received an award for lifetime voluntary service to Derry City Football Club and then in 2019 he became the first man inducted to the Derry City Hall of Fame.
