    I wonder if the sponsorship deals were all his doing, and if so will they dry up going forward

    Just reading Jack has passed he's in a better place now.

    Even though he didn't know me personally he always gestured with a wave whenever we saw each other at the ground.

    R.I.P Jack.

    R.I.P. Jack Thanks for all you did for our club over the years.

    We have so much to thank yourself and Stafford Heginbotham for.

    To and from work we drive along Sticker Lane, maybe that could be renamed Jack Tordoff Way? You have certainly left your mark on that road.

    I don't know for sure, but he was in a care home for the last few years I doubt he would have been involved with recent sponsorship deal, I would hope our link with his company continues.

    I mistakenly thought Jack was a "Sir". Not sure where that idea come from. Though he did get both the MBE and OBE.

    But would that mean no other sponsors could sponsor the main stand if it was called The Jack Tordoff Stand ?.

    Unless it we're called the JCT600 "Jack Tordoff" stand. Might encourage them to sponsor it forever. No objections to naming a stand after him at all, but I would love to see Stafford recognised in the same way.
