romford boy Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Jimmy Hill sadly passed away today aged 87. IMO he was the greatest football brain of his generation, and possible all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big J R Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I quite agree RB. I had the pleasure of meeting him twice at Meadowbank Dorking when he attended with the Casuals. A true gentleman. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cup of tea Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 He championed 3 points for a win which was a massive success. Not sure about the maximum wage for footballers. Good ambassador and entertaining on the TV (especially with his double-act with Terry Venables). RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cup of tea Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Have to admit my ignorance on the conditions were like at that point and whether the wages were restrictive (and I can't be bothered to Google it), so fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
