A great striker averaging a goal every other game for Burnley and nearly a goal every game in a short spell at Bury.

Carried on with the goals as well at Coventry and Portsmouth.

He was a smashing chap who I met when he had a spell on the coaching staff at Blackpool under manager Harry Potts.

RIP.
