Glenn Roeder RIP

[Pete’s Picture Palace]

A tall, stylish defender taken from us far too young (65) after a long battle with a horrible disease. Had good spells at Leyton Orient, where he started his long career, then QPR and then Newcastle where he played about 200 games, turning out over 560 times in all before retiring and getting into management, firstly at Watford.

In FA Cup action for Orient v Colin Suggett of Norwich, 1978


And at Newcastle in 1985



RIP Glenn, you will be missed everywhere
