Just found info... In April 1977, after ten years service with the club, he was granted a testimonial match against Leicester City with 3,179 fans turning up to see Leicester win 3–2 with Ron Springett and Peter Swan coming out of retirement to play for Mick.

For some reason went on the Lower Leppings Lane end, one of only maybe four or 5 games I went there. He was a good solid player at Div 3 level. Back injury wasn't it?
