He lived on the wimpey and barratt estate off Burnage lane. Next to the old Renold Chain factory.

my dad worked at Reynolds for years. Can’t picture the estate you refer. I remember him living in digs with Perry Suckling on kings way.

Football not like this anymore ! My favourite player at the time !

Good luck Simmo!

Thanks for that. Absolute bedlam in both ends. Proper little ground, packed to the rafters with passionate fans.
Great goal from Simmo, superb lob. Get well soon. We're all rooting for you.

During the Cheesy interview Simmo mentioned some fans had gotten into the dressing room at half time against Notts County wanting to remonstrate with the players. We were 3-0 down. Made me laugh. They must've been livid. Apparently big Mick McCarthy was the only one interested in arguing with them. Be interesting to see of any bluemooners know about this incident or had friends involved.

Bald headed Peter Willis. I often wondered if it left a circular, pie shaped mark on his stupid, bald head.

Loved watching Simmo haring down the wing. He was brilliant in the 84-85 run in and was decent for us back in top flight. Scored a great free kick winner to beat Wednesday 1-0 on Boxing Day 86 (Perry Suckling literally msde 10 rip saves that day too). Simmo was unplay3at times part3the 10-1 v Huddersfield. Sold too soon as well.

All the very best Simmo for a full and speedy recovery.

That ref was Peter Willis. A couple of weeks later he sent off Kevin Moran in the cup final

my uncle knew Willis somehow and I remember him telling me that Willis had been bragging to whoever would listen that he was going to be the first ever ref to give a red card in an fa cup final

Pretty sure Mickey Francis mentions it in his book.
