One of football's greatest assets.
It was with real sadness that I learnt of the passing of Jimmy Hill. I never had the privilege of seeing him., in all his pomp, during his prolific spell at Fulham (boo - hiss) My memories of this wonderful character are as front man for the BBC Match of the Day program. What he achieved in his time on earth are a mind-blowing list of vision over adversity - RIP Jim - you did good!
