cragman 2,770 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Heard today that the former WBA forward had passed away after a short illness at the weekend. He was part the great team that Atkinson put together in the late 70s early 80s. A big, bustling, fast centre forward with a good peg on him, known as one of the Three Degrees, him, Cunningham and Batson. Aged into his late 50s, I enjoyed watching him 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
