All the very best, Canners.
February 3, 20215 yr Standing in the shed back in the day, and the game wasn't going our way, the shed would sing "wake up Chelsea, Wake up Chelsea" in frustration, then you would look across to the touchline and Canners would start to warm up, "Canoville, Canoville, Canoville would ring out, and you knew the Calvary was on its way! Sheffield Wednesday away 4-4 iconic game, Canners ripped them apart second half. Get well soon
February 3, 20215 yr Hang in there Canners! He was before my time but I follow him on Twitter - surely one of the most relentlessly positive people I've ever come across.
February 3, 20215 yr All the best to him. I'm slightly too young to remember him as a player, but I read his biography about 10 years ago and he definitely had an eventful life. That first generation of black players had balls of steel to endure the abuse they received.
February 3, 20215 yr Wishing him a speedy & complete recovery. This man helped dig the well for others after to drink from, a legend and freedom fighter on the pitch for CFC!
February 3, 20215 yr I hope that it is an exaggeration from the Daily Mail however whatever condition you are in Paul, you been an inspiration to me and many others of my era, my thoughts are with you all the best for a quick recovery
February 3, 20215 yr Had to put up with mindless racism 40 years later and footballers are getting racist abuse on social media we haven't come very far have we ?. I was at the infamous Palace game still haunts me how our fans and it wasn't a minority behaved that day.

I was at the infamous Palace game still haunts me how our fans and it wasn't a minority behaved that day. I was at his home debut. Our crowd was shameful that day, too.
February 7, 20215 yr One of my favorite players in that era. Fond memories of days when the opposing full backs were given the runaround by Canners and wee pat. Get will soon Canners.
