Tsunami Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Rip, remember him well as a player, could look a world beater or total rubbish in equal measure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Bit of a nearly man in his football career, but he was skilful and could produce some classy moments. Sad as always, to hear of someone dying at that age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Before my time (just!) I know he is also very well respected at Blyth Spartans. I also believe he has been ill for some time (cancer) RIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TurboTrev Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I remember him well, very talented footballer, but for some reason it just didn't work out for him. RIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoreboard82 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpeth mag Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Saw his debut in 1977 - a talented but inconsistent player. Sorry to hear he's gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
