Jim Whitley

[Norman kneejerk]

This series of interviews is really good. Not the usual generic stuff.

Not sure if this'll work, but he's an unbelievable artist too.

Always got confused by Jim and his brother Geoff (?) Both part of that amazing side Of Royles who gave some of our most magical days watching City. Loved that team such a band of brothers and have never known a time when the team and the fans were closer. Think the Whitleys were Northern Irelands first black internationals a great time to be a blue.

His brother is Jeff. In the programme the piece is about Jim but the large photo on the right is of Jeff!!!! You're not the only gettng them mixed up - and they don't actually look that alike!!!

You certainly feel the pride he clearly has in representing the club.

Clive Allen secured today for late November

Now that could be interesting. Loved Clive.
Sat next to him a few times in the old Main Stand when Peter Reid binned him off for Adrian Heath (you still can't believe it can you!).
Really nice guy.

I went to watch Oldham Vs Northampton Town once, Jim was on loan to Northampton from us at the time. Waited outside for him & got him to sign my City shirt. He was a really nice guy & seemed quite surprised at the time, I can't remember his exact words but I think when I said will you sign this his reply was "are you sure" with a big smile.

Our managers made some great decisions in the 90’s. Swapping Paul Walsh for Creaney was another classic move

It was pretty much the same for Neil Pointon who was basically refused a new deal by Peter Reid despite to great seasons as he explains in this one.
