We'll have a celebration for your birthday this evening. God bless you. 86 today and still fighting :guitar2:
When i was a kid(a long time ago), used to live in a village called Bishops Itchington
Ah it all makes sense now and I now understand why you are the good Lord Summerisle
Oh and happy birthday Jimmy!
Happy Birthday Jimmy... but Sir... certainly not for me unfortunately... took many out the club that was not his when he left.
It's a City legends birthday and you get someone on about taking cash out of the club,unbelievable. Jimmy Hill is a legend to me as he took over just as I started going to Highfield Road.I assume that you mean 'money'. I don't remember this - can you explain, please?
Anyway, happy birthday, JH. For me it shoild be Sir JH.

Anyway, happy birthday, JH. For me it should be Sir JH.
I was told my a wise man once who has followed the City for over 50 years, that when he left during the final months there was a big issue going on that he was back pocketing and selling players and pocketing the monies himself, underhand payment tactics if you like. I never really listened to the full story just for me anyone who is associated to doing that at our club is certainly no sir or legend.
Having said that, Happy Birthday all the same, he did do some good at least, and the SFC fans up north can f right off with their sick jokes a few months back on their forum 40 years down the line.
Queue Grendel ....
When i was a kid(a long time ago), used to live in a village called Bishops Itchington, and my best mate was the vicars son.
Jimmy Hill used to go horse riding round the village with the people who had the other half of the vicarage most wekends. He arranged for us to meet the team at Ryton, and get autographs etc, really nice bloke, despite most of us kids generally shouting "fuck off Chinny" whenever he went past on his horse!
So basically you heard a half-arsed rumour (didn't even listen to all of it) & yet that's good enough for you to come on here & effectively accuse Citys greatest manager of theft.
Well, for that, I reckon your a bigger tit than all the SAFC fans you moan about...
Jimmy had instigated many brilliant ideas, 3 points for a win, all seater stadiums, undersoil heating etc, but the one idea he had that I think was bad for the game was "No Cap" on players wages. Look at the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Bale, Rooney, Lampard etc. Averaging £250k pw. No wonder there is such a massive gap (Financially and talentwise) Between the top teams and the bottom. It is ripping the heart out of the game. This, to me, is the only chink in Jimmy's armour. Apart from that the man is a legend, and the best thing to ever happen to CCFC...Happy Birthday Jimmy, and God Bless.
Racism has to be stamped out. By whatever colour to another.
Can you send the real SBK back that doesn't talk sense please?*
*This is a joke!

It's true JH did great things for the club, but I can't agree that all seated stadia was a good idea.Jimmy had instigated many brilliant ideas, 3 points for a win, all seater stadiums, undersoil heating etc, but the one idea he had that I think was bad for the game was "No Cap" on players wages.
