On the news people describe him as football this and football that. Didn't know the guy but I assumed he was clever and a nice guy, why hasn't anyone mentioned that or am I wrong?

I was with a group of friends in London about 20 years ago and he walked passed us in the street and one of my pals said 'hi Jimmy' - he stopped and chatted to us for a good 5 minutes. Absolutely lovely bloke. RIP Jimmy.

Always seemed a decent sort of cove. I've never met him, but I was at Highbury the day the ref got injured, a linesman took over, and Jimmy was called down from the commentary box to run the line in a grey tracksuit.
RIP

He certainly opened a can of worms when he had the maximum wage (20 quid a week) abolished. for sure those SOB's making 250.000 a week thank him.
