A legend of the game, one of the greatest ever English full backs.

Injury before the 66 World cup cost him being part of that winning team (he was in the squad but lost his place to Cohen), after he was by all accounts England's best player at the 62 World cup.

R.I.P Jimmy

Loved him on 5 Live, didn't realise he was ill or that age..
