      To be fair. He never mentioned or associated himself with plymouth after he left. He lived just down the road from me in the 60s as a kid. He first came to my attention when he starred in a plymouth schools team that reached the england national schools final. Someone at birmingham city spotted him during the run and the rest is history. Local boys who played against him at the time said that his great strength was his lightning pace and speed off the mark.

I always remember seeing him on TV as a manager after Birmingham lost to Liverpool on penalties in the League Cup in 2001 and how heartbroken he was , after losing his third cup final as a manager. Thankfully he enjoyed great success as a player and given a wee bit of luck could have won the World Cup in 1982 , when he was probably at his peak.
