It is strange how the young mind works! I saw Harvey, Ball and Kendall as a young man, Joe Royle too, but they were other peoples heroes, not really mine. it was only when we bought Big Bob that i felt i had a hero who was mine? And idolise him as I undoubtedly did, even then I freely admitted he wouldnt have been half the centre forward he was without Davey Thomas sending those laser beam crosses straight to Bobs noggin!
For two seasons, they were unplayable and as fine a partnership as i have ever had the honour to witness? Like LouReed, i felt a bit choked when he started to break up in that interview! I loved the man as did many, many others! I think the younger generation should also be told how good the Burnley and QPR sides he played for where! This guy was absolutely top drawer! God bless you Dave, my moolah has been posted onto your just giving page and i urge everybody here to do the same, the least the man deserves for all those precious memories
