Jim Whitley

Our kid was in the same class as one of his accomplices , Anthony Adasida, himself a promising footballer at one time…

Anyway, Jim found his calling, a better singer than footballer (:

Anthony was a cracking little player himself. Absolutely nuts but in a lovable rather than a nasty way.
 
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.

He probably thought you thought he was Jeff. Jeff always had little dreds and then one summer he had a crew cut like Jim and loads of people got them mixed up then.
 
Always came across as a really good lad Jim and really good to see that’s the case (much more affable than Jeff ime lol)
I remember his debut and thought then he was a cracking little player, tough with good technique, sad he didn’t go on to better things, he was capable of that, but he still seems over the moon with what he managed to achieve, especially given his injuries.

Cheers Mark, another top one.

Cheers mate and Jim’s a top fella.

I purchased Jeff’s 1999 Play-off shirt earlier this year, he was great to deal with and some great City tales so will try and get him on also
