Sad passing of a great sports personality. Although he irritated me when I was a very young 'Big Match' addict, I grew to really appreciate his knowledge and understanding of the game, and I became a fan.

Alas, poor Jimmy was in a nursing home, suffering dementia. A release for him and his wife and family. God Bless and RIP

Somewhat scarily, I actually saw him play ! ( for Fulham )Comment

Sad to see Jimmy go - he loved the game totally. I also believe it was him who pushed through with the idea of 3 points for a win.

Sad that Jimmy has gone. Coventry's great manager. Got us into Div 1 in the 1960s. Did so many firsts for football at the club.- - -

Sad indeed. But we can still smile especially if we look up his impersonation on Stella Street

Indeed, I was never a 'real' fan of the beautiful game, but if ever I did watch him on TV, he made me want to listen, such was his totally engaging manner; and by all accounts, a charming and affable man. RIP, JimmyOriginally posted by Beef Oven! View Post

Certainly a man who had real vision about the beautiful game.
A great shame that he couldn't be around to enjoy a resurgence for the Sky Blues.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
