Yeah I remember seeing him playing for Bournemouth on the left wing with Harry Redknapp on the right wing. He was a seriously rapid winger. He died very young. The rumour was he was doing a bit of horizontal jogging at the time.

Jack leading out the team at Wembley for the Charity Shield, brilliant stuff.

*Sounds not great.

I seem to remember some kerfuffle about the age of his girlfriend as well?

Attendances in the mid 1980s were dire and weren’t much better in the late 70s, especially in the old First Division..Three weeks after the Grimsby game, I was a married man..😳

Our game was the only 0-0.
