Saw him play a lot for Leeds in the 70’s and he was an awesome player especially in the air.
Scored against us in the 3-5 match.
Thats sad news to hear, and remember he kind of disappeared from Sky as a regular pundit didn't he, a few years ago. And I think that was down to illness as well. :s
........OR.......that he wasn’t black, gay, gender blender, non f u c k I n g binary or that he liked sticking an orange in his mouth whilst hanging himself naked in a Premier Inn closet!Quote:

Used to remind him of the 5-3 win every time but he took it in good spirit. Footballer from a greater age and such a shame. Always was surprised that in real life he didn’t seem such a ‘man mountain’ as he did on the pitch.Quote:

Yes that's what I thought it was Yarm, I heard it was a serious illness, and not the PC thing which Sky came up with in more recent times.Quote:
