My playing hero in 1964 on the epic cup run to the semi-final at Villa Park, I was there on that murky wet day, on a sodden muddy pitch. Went with my mum and dad, and Jimmy scored the first goal to give us a 1-0 lead by half time. Of course Preston broke our hearts in the 2nd half with a penalty and a freak goal from the half way line. Feels like yesterday, even though I'm nearly 75 now. RIP Jimmy.
 
RIP Jimmy. I only remember him from his 70s return with the north bank singing his name to jimmy mac the Martha Reeves song of the same name.
Don't know why when I remember Jimmy I also think of Pat Lally.
