Lived around the corner from me when I was a lad. He was such a lovely man and I doubt many if any have done more for City than him.
RIP Skip.

RIP Tony, the best slide tackler I have ever seen. Like a piece of granite behind our marvellous forward line.

Oh blimey that’s grim news indeed RIP Skip, my first City Manager as a kid when I first started going. Club legend doesn’t quite seem to worthy enough for years he was the club.

The Main Stand, 1989. I shook the great man's hand. I was 15 and awestruck. A moment I'll never forget.

Thanks Skip.
