You've reassured me that there was actually once a player called Leigh Jenkinson and I'm not going senile. I was beginning to think I'd imagined him.

I remember him well playing for Hull.  He was very quick indeed.  There was some TV programme where they organised 100m sprint races for players in footy kit and boots, and I think he got to the final, maybe even won it.

And Paul Merson's take on it

Many of us felt like Merse after the Chelsea final. It was such a waste not to have a go especially with the eyes of the world on us as Wembley was about to go. I can't see Timbo playing it so cautiously.

To give him his due, in a world of "he loves the club, he does" nonsense applied to anyone who is half decent and stays anywhere a reasonable amount of time, Gregory clearly does love the club.

It's why I love him. Still got my old programmes from around 1978 and one or two have him on the front.
