Lovely man. And so well informed - had statistics coming out of his ears! I was a guest at a game at Oldham in the late 70s which he was commenting on. At lunch we all put in a pound with our prediction. His was a home win 3-1. The result was actually 0-0 and it was one of the most boring games I have ever endured - I cannot even remember the opposition. But he was lovely company - modest, knowledgeable and unassuming. RIP
I recall him, in an interview, saying how, while at Leeds (?), he was taught how to keep the ball down and not belt it over the bar. I must also say that he was a bit, er, enthusiastic with some of his tackles.
