Mr Mosquito Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Old Jack White was a fearsome looking geezer. Over half a century since we last won a Championship !!!!!! Are we jinxed or what ??!!!!! Jack White also has a proper work record unlike the underachieving/overpaid wasters we have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatcham red Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Not many players over the years deserve the title "legend". It's good that he's making the effort to come down from Essesx, where he currently lives. By all accounts he's chuffed to bits to be asked and proud of his playing days at the City.I for one will be delighted to shake his hand on the 28th.

"Chalky" was delighted to be invited and said on more than one occasion how disappointed he was when he left the city. 100%er. Don't see many of those around now do we?
