rob237 89 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Sorry to read of his passing...important cog in the '59 team. Was at Hillsborough for the Cup semi-final v Villa to see his great save from Peter McParland, that got us through to Wembley. IIRC, he lived at Beeston and was something of a top golfer... Reckon that just leaves Billy Gray & Jeff Whitefoot from the winning team. Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
