It was at the last book signing he did in Sunderland, he had another appointment that day but the signing ran over by two hours, it showed what Sunderland meant to him, He was the greatest manager Sunderland never had imo. As an aside, my association with Brian went right back to 1961 his first coming to Sunderland,, no pun intended, he was going out with a girl who lived two doors down, no names no pack drill, but he always had a word if you approached him in the right way if you didn't he let you know, great hero of mine and I was at the game he got injured and his come back game which was sadly to be his last, what a bloke, what a player, 267 goals in 269 league games only tells half the story. .

My dad used to be his paper boy back then in the early 60's, and Harry Hooper's as well.
