RIP Jimmy Hill - VxFan

Surprised no one's mentioned it yet.

Former Coventry City manager and club chairman Jimmy Hill has died aged 87. During a long and varied career, he was a player, manager, chairman and broadcaster.

RIP Jimmy Hill - Ian (Cape Town)

Love him or hate him, he certainly made some massive changes to the game:
*abolishing the minimum wage
* 3 points for a win
* abolishing the 'chattel' method of footballers' registrations and transfers

Rest chin Peace.

RIP Jimmy Hill - Dog

Course I know who Jimmy [the chin] Hill is, but the image which came into my head was of Jimmy Greaves, who I see is still drawing breath. I'm no great fan of footie, much preferring heavy/light heavyweight boxing but, not wanting to give Murdock any money, I have to rely on yuchoob 4 that. I have been to Millwall, Arsenal, and, um, Dulwich Hamlet matches - when they played at "Dog Kennel Hill" :o)

I can also occaisionally enjoy watching an 'alf-decent game of footie on my plasma telly, if only for the pretty colours.

RIP
