Hard as nails and a great one to have on your side. Played a few games in midfield as well. Not sure against who but he had one of their players stretchered off within 20 seconds of kick off.

For the first time ever. 4D 1 - Someone 0. Quite a scalp 4D.

I always used to call one of Wilf's immediate predecessors "Mahavishnu" John McLaughlin, after the guitarist, but not sure many others did. McLaughlin, was another very decent player, who has been largely forgotten. Oh and if you look on Richard B's site for him, he wasn't a left back, but a right back or holding midfield player. |
