Remember watching that match and seeing the arrival of a young Howard Kendall. Great game. That night I went to see the Rolling Stones.

A one club man. You can be sure there will be some sad West Ham fans after hearing the news.

RIP a name from my childhood
Newcastle United are saddened to hear of the death of popular former player John Tudor at the age of 78.

Best known for striking up a prolific partnership with Malcolm Macdonald - and for his terrace chant, 'Hallelujah, John Tudor' - the Ilkeston-born forward scored 72 goals in 219 appearances for the Magpies in all competitions.

He was part of the team which reached the FA Cup final in 1974 and also lifted the Anglo-Italian Cup and the Texaco Cup during his time on Tyneside.

Joining United in 1971 after spells with his hometown club, Ilkeston Town, Coventry City and Sheffield United, his aerial power and unselfishness made him an ideal foil for Macdonald.

He was a regular until suffering a knee ligament injury, then a change in manager and the arrival of Alan Gowling led to his transfer to Stoke City.

Retiring from the professional game due to his persistent knee problem, Tudor later returned to the North East when he became a publican in Bedlington at the Millfield Inn for a spell before moving back to his native Ilkeston.

The club's thoughts are with John's family and friends at this difficult time.

Tudor had retired when I was just a toddler but reading his name brings back the infamous: 'now Tudor's gone down for Newcastle' - from a goal that was before my time, but became part of my childhood via 101 Great Goals/ and every FA Cup R3 preview show since.


RIP

The Jam had already been split up for about ten years when I got into them as a teenager.

Opened up so many doors.

RIP Rick
