    I can't remember how good he was when he played left wing, but I sure remember him as a prolific centre forward. I met him several times after his playing career ended, the last time when he had the New Vic in Bolton Woods. A great, down to earth bloke.

    There was controversy about the first game Jimmy Mcilroy described the VP pitch as unfit “a mud bath”

    Thanks for the tip off Park. One of the old school.

    Yes indeed Park. In my then young mind he was average as a left winger but quite a revalation at CF. Think his son was/is a gk coach and played local leagues. RIP

    Snap! However he was always remembered with fondness and as a West Yorkshire lad, then the local links were there.
