Billysboy Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Never forget that 1st goal he scored in the BDM and the one at blackburn to secure promotion the same season, both sent a 20 year old me hysterical, RIP spider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl71 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 RIP. I don’t think I ever saw him play. My first two games were at the end of his final season, but by then the two forwards was some combination of Pearson, Mculloch and Bannister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling_Wolf Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Very sad news. RIP Ian. I missed those two iconic matches through working abroad back then, though saw some games whilst home on leave. I remember meeting him later on when he was working as a sales rep in Sheffield. He visited my Sheffield firm twice before going to play in Hong Kong. He came across as a really nice bloke. More recently I got to have a brief chat with him at a fan function at Hillsborough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
