..... 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.

Without checking did we lose any homes in the second half of that season, I remember a few 0-0's

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.
