Terrible manager destroyed his legacy as far as I'm concerned. Heard him speaking about Peter Bonetti after his death to be honest he sounded a bit rambling and incoherent.

Missed that. Sad to hear.

Very poor spell as manager with us but an excellent player for many years, and very successful as player-coach under John Neal.

Again fair points. My old man rated him as a player for us and after leaving us played well for both QPR and Arsenal.

One of these pictures maybe both is after the Blackpool incident. Cleaning up my computer some of these may have been posted before.
