    I think he took Hereford to their highest ever League position.
    Met him once, a real character. RIP

    The first (and last) manager to make me cry my eyes out over a game of football.

    God damn Gary Mabbutt's left knee!

    (Things really havent got much better since, yes I know!)

    RIP Sir.

    RIP

    Remember being at a Coventry game a few years back, with @TelMc32, when our mate was CFO there. After the game John Sillett & Jimmy Hill, both had a good few beers and were singing Coventry songs, they we’re having a great time.

    Was at the 87 Cup Final. Great game. One of the best games I've been to. Memories of Sillett dancing along the greyhound track with the cup. As @philcafc says, a real character.

    I had two tickets for the '87 cup game, given to me from an allocation for Barclays Bank Tottenham branch - I sold them onto a couple of Spurs fans - not sure if they enjoyed their day though!

    RIP
