    report just in on BBC website that he has died aged 83. A great player and star of Englands world cup winning team of 1966.

    More bad news.
    He played in two cup finals in 66. One at Hampden and one at Wembley.

    I remember Roger playing against Barnsley at Oakwell for Bolton during our relegation season of 1971/72.

    That is a sobering thought.

    They should have all been better looked after.

    I played for Mitchell's and Darfield under 13s as a lad, Our manager, Ernie Simpson ( I think), took us to a floodlit game at Hillsborough on 6 November 1965. The visitors were Liverpool, The score was 2 -0 to Liverpool. Hunt scored one of the goals (Thompson got the other) but I also remember the Owls fans calling him a name that rhymed with Hunt.

    My memory is not that brilliant, I had a good idea of the score but I did check the facts.

    Interestingly for such a massive club less than 24,000 attended this midweek game.
