    To be fair to Jim he didn’t go home too unhappy that day so I hear. Not that I’d know as I was -3 at the time.

    Anyway, RIP.

    Never made it complicated and his teams were more often than not a pleasure to watch.

    I remember the QF when we beat Chelsea (always a good feeling) at the Bridge with Mick Robinson scoring from the halfway line.
