I asked him how they were getting on, and he said that they’d either got a tanking, or handed one out to Newcastle recently. Their roadie was a Mag which made it all the more pleasing. He called the boy over to meet me, and I asked him if he remembered Jinky at Sid James Park (“because there’s always some sort of Carry On going on up there” according to a Smoggie ex-colleague). He said that Jinky was his hero, and when I said that I’d met him the night before, he asked to shake the hand with which I had shaken our shared hero’s. I had washed it since, like, but you know what road guerrillas’ hygiene is like.Jimmy Smith was my first ever Dons idol.. Until Joey came along, Jinky's speciality was the "nutmeg" He came from Benburb Juniors ..and I canna remember the rest .. The 5th Beatle was Jinky, big in Newcastle inaw .
