My dad loved Chris Nicholl.  Described him as 'a danger in both penalty areas'  ;D

I was 17 when he signed for us. It was the start of our great adventure. Third Division to Champions of Europe in 10 years, no one had ever done that , and in the modern age it will never happen again. Big Chris played his part in that magical period. Thanks big man.

The League Cup Final goal will be etched into my memory for life.
RIP Big Chris.
