Yes Ralphie it was a bit of a shock to see the news posted up on Mudcat, how did I miss it ??

We were just reminiscing about him in the office,he had been on the tele about clubs in Newcastle some of which even we could n't remember. Apparently he taught one of my colleague's wife !

Even though he always looked 'a clip' I liked him.

Thanks for the memories John, gone but not forgotten.
