Thank you for helping me love the reds & for laying the foundations for promotion
My sincere condolences to Jim’s family at this sad time
Got some stick at the end of his tenure but left a good core of players when Clarkey took over. Rip Jim.
First started watching under Iley so good memories. RIP Jim
