    I feel truly saddened by the news of Jimmy's passing but it got my old grey matter reminiscing about the good old days and the likes of Evans and Alston etc.


    Thank you Jimmy for the memories



    His name is Jimmy Andrews,
    he's the leader of the blues
    and when we go to Ninian Park,
    we never ever lose.

    So take us to division one
    cos that's where we belong,
    and when you see the boys in blue
    you'll know we can't go wrong

    lalalala, lala, lalala.


    Think that was the words.


    Gone but not forgotten. <rose>

    Absolutely agree. A relatively short tenure at the club but a true Bluebird. RIP Jimmy.

    I will always remember Jimmy Andrews on away games would come to the away end and offer his grandstand tickets to the older fans. He done it quite a few times that I can remember.

    Also he was the city manager when I used to take the wifes cousin and uncle down to Newport (if I remember it was the steelworks pitch) to train for CCFC, he took the cash and went to Man U and was then soon lost to football. Jimmy would always come and have a chat to the kids parents etc.

    In his time I didn't miss a game home or away.


    ITIWRAN.

    I remember singing that song, thought we would rule the world in those days.




    RIP a true gentleman.

    The first manager I remember and the man who brought us the best player you've never heard of.

    Never a dull moment during his reign.

    RIP.

    Yes RIP Jimmy. I am sure he took over from Frank O'Farrell, remember those days well as a teenager jumping up and down on the creaky wooden planks in the Grangend. I am sure it was Jimmy in charge when we played Hereford mid week in front of a crowd of almost 40,000, great memories.

    Good to see that the club appear to be looking to pay tribute to Jimmy at the next home game. Apparently the sad news of Jimmy's death came too late for the club to pay respect at the Leeds game. The tribute is hoped to include family members and former players. <ok>
