Albert was a regular highlight on Total Sport. He always talked common sense and always explained how he formed his opinions and why he was saying what he said. He obviously had a great affection for our club, as we all have, but he was able to communicate that affection along with his knowledge, every time he rang in no matter what the specific point he was making was. I will miss him at tea-time during the season. RIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really touched me reading about him deciding not to pursue chemotherapy—making tough decision that treatment (at best to extend his life by months) wasn’t worth the impact on his final weeks. RIP.

joeyt Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I think it's just because in my head Milburn played so long ago and died a long time ago that I couldn't fathom how his widow could still be with us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
