Lincs Owl Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 No 1966 FA Cup Final photo amongst his chosen four book cover pics. I'd want a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never been convinced that Jim thinks as fondly of us as we do of him. I think his career elsewhere is what his book will be about Obviously I could be wrong, so Sorry Jim if I am I just always remember him being interviewed by Match of the Day when he scored one of the semi goals that beat Chelsea and he seemed gutted about beating his former club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have guessed much older, I’m 65 now so when we bumped into him on Chapel Walk he was only 20ish…I have to say he se3med a lot older at the time..but then I was looking up at him. Big John Ritchie was just a hazy blur way up in the clouds to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonbones Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 My dad saw him recently - might have been yesterday I forget, at Crystal Peaks. My dad's 10 years older than him and remembers him playing like it was yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Also found this which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. Ford, Ellis, Mobley, Springett and Megson I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen either before and I also reckon it's Don Megson on the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
