That is sad. Jim cut his managerial teeth as player manager at Boston in the early 70s.

Jim truly did have more clubs than Jack Nicklaus. Much respected and a very popular manager. Loved hearing him talking football. What he did at Oxford was amazing. Oxford fans say he was suffering from dementia and was in a nursing home. Very sad. RIP 'Bald Eagle'.

I remember when he was getting abuse from the main stand when we were beating Pompey, it was 3-0 I think, that kind of scoreline seems like a dream now...

Anyway he got so angry even his bald patch glowed bright red!  

Great character, he was laughing once he'd calmed down...
