Andy Malcolm RIP

[kirkup]

Passed away on Boxing Day in South Africa.

Probably the best man marker, and toughest tackler in my lifetime. Ever present in the 57/58 promotion side.

Could do with a player like him now.

DJ visibility of said button is not the issue. If you hover the mouse pointer over the buttons, you usually would see a rupert-the-bear gloved hand. This indicates that the button is functional/can be clicked. Not so with the Like It button. See what I mean ?

A very very good half-back. Seen him play many times.

One I always seem to fit into past Hammers Teams.

RIP.
