Thanks for that. It is nice to know how our former players are getting on in life and what they are king after their playing days. He was a true legend for the Gills as there have been a few over the years.
I like to check out 'On this day' and remember the games and the atmosphere (doom , gloom and joy) throughout the late 60s until now.
Be good to get one from Brian Yeo ....before it's too late!!!!
