..... and what a debut match.  Boxing days were meant for matches like that.  He led the team as a true captain from the front.

Ditto, fantastic Captain, never forget that goal against Liverpool. How he never played for his country is beyond me.

Oh, to have a player and leader like Dennis nowadays. It's exactly what we need.

Fantastic player and the best Captain.

I had the pleasure of having a conversation with him (and his wife) in the bar of the Birmingham Odeon before a Rod Stewart concert, circa 1978.  A lovely chap, as well as a great footballer and captain.

Is that true? It definitely sounds like something Ron Saunders would say.
