Played cricket against him a couple of times. I was a young boy about 15, he was a man. He was kind, encouraging, a proper sportsman.
He was certainly one of our best ever front men, if not always the hardest working. Could always beat a man, had vision, could create and score. His goal at Mansfield was a gem - how come everyone but the officials saw it? Even Kev was surprised it was allowed. And Ernie completed the joy by scoring with his bottom.
Can't believe he's dead. Makes me feel even older.
