RIP James










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Great lad and very popular,also played in the local pool league.
Can't be many grounds he didn't go to in his 40 odd years following town.
RIP Jimmy

Is this the lad who played pool in his wheelchair?

If it was then I often came across him when I was playing in the pool leagues.

good friend of Mine Jimmy, often joined us on a Friday with my mam brother and auntie for a bite to eat, a lovely chap and also a good friend of my uncle who was also wheelchair bound but passed away a few years ago. Jim was waiting for an op to remove his kidney as he told my mum on Tuesday, unfortunately this came too late, RIP Jim, town fan and friend

Really sorry to hear this. Jim was a top bloke who I've known for a long time. He was Town through and through. RIP.

Never knew him, but what's really touching is how many people did, or knew of him, or seen Jim around and whose lives had been touched by him.

RIP Jim.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
