We used to go to Richmond House and play footie in the gym with his son.<br /><br />I remember Jack as being a lovely man with thick, bright white hair & always in a tracksuit (or part of). Even then (1968 - 1970?) I thought it a shame that the house must have once seen better times as the "garden" had become an area containing garages for the local estate on Cemetry Walk/Vincent Street.<br /><br />My gran told me he used to play for United, I didn't quite believe her as United players were very different types by then i.e Law and Bestie.steven rowenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-19582806548297108212010-10-12T12:06:39.675+01:002010-10-12T12:06:39.675+01:00Hi Downsie21
