Burnley got first shout, they were at home to Forest on the Saturday, Blackburn were away. Burnley won 8-0, Jimmy scored 5 of them, all thoughts of a trip to Ewood were instantly forgotten and here I still am today. I was also at Wembley to see Jimmy score the 100th goal in Wembley Cup Finals.

RIP Jimmy, a true Burnley legend.
