ReadingOwl Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Sad news. Heard him talk about his love for Wednesday and how he used to travel to the games on the bus and get into the ground early as a young lad. He always mentioned us with deep affection. Shame he never managed us in his heyday. RIP Jim - top bloke. . Edited December 10, 2019 by ReadingOwl 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Tom Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 One of those iconic figures from when football was still just about the ‘old’ game - very nostalgic for me, belonged to the era of football being a weird sort of magic when I was a kid. RIP lad. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 This is sad news. Think he was from Firth Park. A proper football man. I can remember him being strongly linked with coming to us as manager a couple of times. RIP Bald Eagle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
