LeazesMag 0 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 RIP Jackie. Like all your team mates, you were a star, and a smashing bloke, they just don't make them like you anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sniffer 0 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Sad to say but it shows the knowledge level on here. Almost 60 looks and four responses for a player that gave 110% in every match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4411 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 RIP One thing the Mackems actually get right is that they have one match every year with a pause/silence to remember fans who've passed away - I'd support a concept like that for ex-players with perhaps a roll call.

spongebob toonpants 4129 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) Played in the first match I ever saw - RIP what was that mate ? Man City at home November 1968. We won 1-0. Wynn the leap scored with a header from a corner. I'd be lying if I said I remembered that Sinclair took the corner, but there's got to be a good chance he set up the fist goal I ever saw. First man from the Fairs cup team to go I believe - sad day Edited September 2, 2010 by spongebob toonpants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how you embed youtube but see what he did against them 6 months earlier at 1:06. Quality. All the old blues I speak to talk about this game (understandably). Last game my dad saw too before moving to Manchester for university. Have always loved this footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to come the old codger, but the sound that used to come from the ground, and the Leazes in particular was like nothing you've ever heard. I lived in Low Fell and you could hear when we'd scored. I remember playing football in the park when that game as on, with everyone trying to work out the score from the crowd noises. iirc there was 4 teams in with a chance of winnng the league going into that game Then when I got to go to my first game the noise was just incredible. They ripped the heart out of the club when the Leazes came down. Even when KK and SBR had the team flying it never felt quite the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First man from the Fairs cup team to go I believe - sad day IIRC, it was the last second of the game too, and Mike Doyle went mad at the referee. Jackie is the first man from the Fairs Cup team to go, yes. I have met all of them over the past few years, and all of them are down to earth guys just like Jackie was, normal blokes you would talk to down the pub. It's a shame that Joe Harvey hadn't still been here too and that would have been complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
