ArthurTeaCake 40 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Awful news. Such an elegant, cultured player, the stepover and bringing it out of defence was his trademark in the days when most centre halves were cloggers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

kristmace 1,096 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Very sad to hear that. 65's not old at all. Came across as a really nice bloke. His contacts and advice in summer 2015 led to our best transfer window in a long time. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
1867owl 2,227 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Really saddened by this. Always seemed a proper decent fella. I'll always remember the dignity he showed when faced with the worst sort of abuse from West Ham fans when he was in hospital with the first brain tumour. RIP. Link to post Share on other sites

poite 7,129 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Very sad news. I'd really like to know what Glenn and the others who formed part of DC's committee in that first season did. I find it hardly a coincidence that whilst people like that were advising the club we managed to construct a team that got to the playoff final in that season. Glenn was quite obviously a hugely influential character judging by former players and professionals who knew him so I'd be fairly confident in assuming he formed a key part of our early success.

Seems heartfelt. 5 You think you are having a bad day? Look what this ship captain did! Link to post Share on other sites
