Harrogate throwing plenty of money around and a team on the up, watched them a couple of times last season, nice club and play some decent football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalalajpkalala Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45246559 Former manager Jimmy McIlroy has passed away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobledgersheart Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Great footballer. His class shone through the few times he played for us. Can remember one match we were winning fairly easily and he dribbled round a couple of defenders, was about to do the same to the goalie in front of the Chaddy and the ref blew for time ! Was instrumental in the change to "electric orange" and an influx of Northern Irish youngsters, some of whom were better than others. Ronnie Blair, Allen Hunter, Derek Spence and one who I believe would have been really good barring a badly broken leg Billy Johnston. Can remember watching him limping through reserve matches during his failed comeback bid thinking I'd been cheated out of watching a potentially great player. His and Bates' arrival kick-started my real love of Latics and led to watching us play some great attacking football, winning the Ford Sporting League and eventually gaining promotion.

A great player for Burnley , I had the great pleasure of watching him play there many times. He also did a great job for OAFC in his twilight years as player manager. RIP Jimmy.

LaticsPete Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 RIP but have to say I don’t regard him as one of Latics’ greatest managers. Had significant financial backing from Ken Bates and didn’t really deliver. Did bring some talented Irish players over - Allan Hunter and Ronnie Blair as notable examples . When he left we had begun to struggle and it wasn’t until Frizz took over that we bounced back from relegation . He had been a very good top division player and that must be his legacy.

Yes I think that was how it happened. Don't think Johnston was a kid, more mid-twenties, and a schoolteacher if my memory serves me well. It was sad to see him vainly trying to resurrect his career. A time when footballers just wanted to play not be seen as demigods to be revered for "kicking a bag of wind !" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
