You are either even older than me, or listened to your parents a lot. Jack Crompton was my mother’s fave.

Trekked down to Molineaux to watch Georgie B in one of his prodigal son returns in a reserve match. He didn’t turn up. However was worth the journey to see Jimmy Rimmer and Steve Kindon have a full-on scrap by the corner flag getting them both sent off.

I did have hope for him when I was a kid but that didn't last.
