I lived in the same street as Alan. He was genuine guy and used to kick about with us although we were younger. Sad to hear he has passed away.

In July 1983, I was sat in a small waiting room in the maternity dept at St James Hospital, Leeds, our wives were due to give birth any moment.

I immediately recognised him and gave him a reassuring smile, he looked very anxious.

I chose not to ask him about his footballing career, we just sat quietly.
When it was his time to leave the room, he shook my hand and said "Thank You". From that it was my clear understanding the thanks was for not discussing anything to do with football.

Afterall, footballers are human with the same worries as everyone else.

Vic was "The Boss" (manager of Rochdale AFC) in 1984/85 and I was one of 8 Apprentice Footballers. He was a great boss, loved a Big Mac as I recall!

I did not see Ralph play, but he is still remembered fondly by older Tranmere supporters .

Steve was in the year above me at Whitton Secondary School. His year had a good team and played in an all London schools final at Hounslow Towns ground against a school team from East London, which included John Sissons.(later West Ham) They unfortunately won. p.s. My year were rubbish in comparison!!

Pete was our pension advisor for years. Whenever he came round it was more of a social event than a pension meeting. Stayed for hours. A really genuine guy and a real gentleman as well

I was a young apprentice at Grimsby Town when you arrived around 69 mate. I clearly remember your old house in Trinity Rd and the Cortina you used to race around in with Dave Worthington. If you ever read this best regards from Cornwall.
