Im sure if people analysed everyone's nights here there wouldn't be a single person whose reputation wasn't tarnished on at least several occasions since t
Very true.... But I'll never forget it. My uncle managed to get into that game and he said he never opened his mouth for fear of being killed, he had to celebrate the North scoring and nearly bite his tongue off when Ireland equalized.
 

Not a man who'll be fondly remembered for me.

I associate him with failure. Gordon Lee was *my first manager* of memory, but I remember the jibes lived on for years afterward about that era. "What d'you call an Irishman with a bad side? Billy Bingham" went the *joke* of the day.

And he was for others - as they mention - a divisive character.

Sorry to say that, but there it is.

R.I.P. in any case.

Remember Dobson and Colin Todd in the same team. Two Rolls Royce's. I think Todd was only with us for one season but you could see his class immediately.

Totally agree, as soon as Todd touched the ball you could see what a unique player he was.

Shame we could not have signed him a few seasons earlier.
