I was a 10 year old boy inspired by the class of '82. My brother was always Wynton Rufer with back yard football and me, well i was Steve Sumner. Your influence transcended Football and we'll all be externally grateful. Heroes wore their undies on the outside but i suppose those short 'shorts' will make a worthy alternative. Our love and wishes are with Jude and family at this time.
Duncan will be there to greet you mate...
