DaveyDenoon Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I liked him. Loved the way he took the "We hate Jimmy Hill" banter on the chin (sorry didn't mean that pun) and his genuine love of Scotland and the scots was well known. Was well ahead of his time and made a huge impact on the game. RIP fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North East Loon Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Jimmy Hill took some stick, not the worst from over the border by a long way. RIP Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodster Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Be nice if we sang something nice about him at the next game after all the years of stick he had to take. What started it all other than he was the 'archetypal' Englishman of the day, was it the Narey goal? Why was the toe poke seen as an insult in the old days? If it was Messi's big toe on the end of that these days it would be seen as further evidence of his footballing genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
