Older posters may remember him as the winger who crossed the ball for Ted McDugall's diving header to score for Bournemouth in that famous third division game that saw us come from that goal down to win 2-1 in front of 48k fans. What a great match and day that was.

RIP Tony.

RIP Tony

I always thought it was Phil Boyer who crossed for that goal. That pair were a tremendous combination.
