    RIP, proper traditional football manager. Did a fantastic job at Oxford, I remember getting hammered 5 0 there in the early 80’s.

    I worked for Jim Smith at QPR, Oct 1985 to May 1986. He gave me the opportunity to start opposition scouting, by sending me out to cover West Ham v Everton as my first game, while I was at the club assisting the full time coaches in the Academy, on youth training nights. Then he gave me the time to go over the early reports to point out what he was looking for. He was a proper football man, and always had the time to stop and ask how I was getting on, whenever our paths crossed at matches after I had moved on. No sadness from me, just a feeling of being priviledged to have worked for him for a short while.

    That was a proper fucking on a mud heap. Steve Gritt played in a back 5 and we were slaughtered. What a team they were.....Aldridge, Hamilton and Chicken George Lawrence ripping into us from right wing.

    Did cheer up on the train home....we listened on the radio as we drew Tottenham away in the cup!
