An icon of football died today. Amongst many things he was the footballer responsible for the abolition of the maximum wage in football, though whether that was a good thing or not is open to debate.

Simply the best manager Coventry City ever had. They won many titles under his leadership. Such a legend that his statue is outside the Ricoh Arena.
R.I.P Jimmy

I used to love is tuning to him and Brian Clough on MOTO. ...always controversial and interesting. Both legends sadly gone now.
