Post by VeritasVincit »

They said that the ball might get past him, or the winger might get past him, but never both.

A sad day, a top professional in his day.

Him and Chopper plus a few others, would have made things interesting for the fancy dans of today.

The only thing he had going for him was that he thought Emlyn Hughes was a cunt, a stance millions agreed on.

An extremely limited footballer who didn’t like blacks and foreigners. RIP and all that but he was an unpleasant cunt.

Liverpool Echo’s report on his passing is an excellent read.
