33 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 They aren't worth the argument buddy. Snowflake thinking matters now. This thread is about one of our heroes so will just stick to that. Will probably have a very thoughtful drink or two later and toast probably our best leader in my time supporting the club. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some watery things in the corners of my eyes. Definitely not a soft shyte though. Must be hay fever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzOwl Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 The Blackburn away game in 1980 our promotion season is etched into my mind, it was the turning point of the free fall, all the bad poo for that period ended that night we knew we were going up. Thank you Big Jack, you were the f#*king man 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 RiP..absolute class that man. No airs and graces, told off now he was. Changed us as a club and laid the foundations for others to build on....had the pleasure of meeting him in Dublin once just a thoroughly decent man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi1867 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Best Wednesday manager in my 50+ years of watching the Owls. A true legend RIP 'Sir' Jack 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Totally gutted to hear of Jack's passing, it's like losing a family member, worse in some cases. He dragged us by the scruff of the neck up the league and made us believe again, in the context of the situation he was the best manager we ever had imo. RIP Jack. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be one of the best pictures I've ever seen that. Absolutely brilliant. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All his staff respected him. His knowledge of football was second to none. He took players from lower leagues, and built a proper solid team that would die for each other on the pitch. He dragged this club out of sleep walking in the lower reaches, and got it up on its feet again, restoring pride and love for the club. We were going nowhere, then Big Jack turned up and our immediate future became bright. I think about where we are now, and sadly, we need another Big Jack. Another miracle required like the one Big Jack delivered. So much respect for the man. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
