Vic Crowe gave him his debut.
He got into Ron's team the following autumn and was in the side that memorably beat the team that should have won the first division 3-0, on their own pitch, Everton, in a League cup-tie. Useful result, as we went on to win the trophy.
He might have had a good run after this, but had his leg sliced open early on in a three-nil win against Millwall and had to recover from that.
As Dave says, he got a few games in December but once the Graydon-Leonard-Little partnership was formed, the game was up.
