    RIP - Jimmy..... I hope the club mark this in some way. Our next game after Jimmy's death was a home League cup 1st round match the following Tuesday against.... Bournemouth. Will always recall the two teams walking out together to the sound of Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise with the Bournemouth captain holding a Yellow and Red floral tribute, the match itself seemed insignificant in comparison.

    I remember that day well. I wasn't going to the Watford game and was heading the opposite way up the motorway. We saw the traffic jam on the other side but didn't realise the significance until later that day. RIP

    I was still married then and as a compromise, the first I would know about how we were doing on Saturdays was watching Final Score and the first I knew was that our match was postponed. Then when they said, I asked my then wife to change the channel. A few minutes later, a 7 year old jerzeypie came into the room. He thought that because his Mum had her choice of tv channel and I was looking upset that we were getting a pasting - I then had to explain to him what had happened.

    As Flitton has said, I hope the club commemorate the anniversary.

    Was he not twice over the legal alcohol driving limit? A tragic waste, yes, but I do not see that there is much to commemorate. Had the other driver been twice over and hit him then that would be different. Sorry, but I, for one, have little sympathy.

    Fair point - but I was just posting it from his mates perspective.

    Great piece of writing their from Danny Webber, a terrible incident which involved the club, how those 10 years have gone quickly.

    I suspect that we all know someone who has died from doing something stupid. That doesn't make it any the less sad, unless it was a habitual action. We probably have all done something stupid that could have ended our own lives. I know I have - though nothing that could have killed anyone else, I'll admit.
