It’s been quite an emotional night this, as it brings back lots of memories of my years spent at the game with my late dad. I’m sure it does to others too.
I remember my dad being absolutely overjoyed when during our one and only hospitality suite visit, he got to meet his hero. It made his year!
I was too young to really understand the quality of the player but I listened to plenty of stories.
Everyone says you remember your first game but I don’t as I was only about 7. The first game I do remember is the Boxing Day game he took me to when Colin made his comeback. That was the game that absolutely made me understand why he loved this club so much. I was 8, I was hooked.
It is a very sad day for all who understand what this club is about and what our fans are about.
The respect being shown on social media from many people and former players is very touching and I’m sure a great comfort to his family.
RIP Legend.
