Very sad. Frightening to think he wasn't much older than myself. As hard as the derby defeat was, this puts some perspective on it. i was young during his playing days. Don't remember much about his actual play, but remember him being in the side. He might of played in the NYD 3-1 win v the mackems in 1980. Not sure though.

I'm sure he put in a lovely cross for Alan Shoulder to score against Exeter in the FA Cup 5th Round in 1981.

 

Good, Skillfull player but a bit of a target for the boo boys iirc due to inconsistency.

 

Always remember the replay down there when we were getting hammered. Nigel ran over to take a corner at our end and i shouted a load of abuse about the team being shit. He told me to fuck off! Smashing lad though and a bit of a favourite of mine. Cant help wondering how much better he might have done if he had gone to Spurs when they were interested.

I've checked with Mr Joannou's records, and he did not.

 

(How sad am I?)

I wouldn't worry about being sad. I was looking it up myself. Just couldn't find it that's all.
