I don't really think of him as a hard supporter of any particular club, although he obviously took a keen interest in the local ones. We did go to see Notts County a lot in the early 80's, but I guess he was scouting for them at the time. I suppose he would have been loyal to his employer, but I remember him as simply a big fan of the game. I guess you'd have to be in order to travel all those miles to see those obscure lower league night matches! He always carried a sense of humour around with him through, always cracking the jokes

Yes, he was a football man through and through. It was a real pleasure to have met him

Lovely to hear his story but sad news of his passing.

Not sure why this bit was relevant though...

 

 

Maybe just a sort of story filler to infer that his job/ club was his life?
