The great Willie Donachie is presently living down the road from me in the Chorley area.  He goes to see his wife who is in a home with advanced dementia every day.  Every day she does not recognise him but asks to go home with him.  He leaves in tears every time.

So so sad.

That City side of the early/mid-70's was a joy to watch. When Rovers were away (and for some European night matches) my Dad took me to Maine Road several times. I can only just remember them but I know they were always exciting. Willie Donachie was a key part of that team - should have won more than they did but came up against great Leeds , Liverpool and Arsenal teams around that time.
