How many on here actually saw him play for Scunny?
Age 20 when he left for the Scousers in 1971.
Scored a goal in (roughly) every seventh game for the Iron.
Obviously Liverpool saw something in him.
Of those on here that saw him play for the Iron… what were your thoughts on him at that time? If you can remember :-)
Do we really need to erect a statue of someone who scored a goal every 7 games for Scunthorpe United?
Are we just “riding on someone’s coattails” – is Armthorpe Junior School erecting a statute? The sea cadets? His Sunday School? etc
At the end of the day; he didn’t discover a miracle cure for any nasty disease – he just played football … and was rewarded handsomely (at the rate of that time / era) for doing so.
