Lukers1 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Wow, very sad, I remember him signing him from Hull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookersstandandy Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Bloody hell, what a shame that's so young. I remember him as a tough no-nonsense centre half. Struggled a bit on the plastic from what I remember though, not quite quick enough. Did we get him from Hull? I seem to remember us nicking a few players off them during that time. Bunn & Jobson as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunn & Jobson as well. Was never his biggest fan but he wore blue during a difficult first half of 88/89 probably his stand out performances were home and away v Everton in the Littlewoods Cup, he was superb in the replay but sadly Tony Cottee’s late brace did for us. Was better when we signed Andy Holden to play alongside but was eventually packed off to Walsall with John Kelly in the late summer of ‘89 after Joe moved Barrett inside and gambled on youngster Henry alongside Milligan. Not sure how that one turned out... Anyhow I digress, 61 is no age very sad news. RIP Skip 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
