I am sure somebody noted his absense in a thread not so long ago
If you know him, do you know is his family will be requesting donations anywhere or things like that? (I know some do when you read obituaries) so if you can let me know I will happily push them and put things on here along those lines.
If anybody does know him or his family, let me know if there's anything as a site that can be pushed (any fundraising / donations to charities of choice etc).
Jim was a true gent..always will remember him in his sky blue suit at Wembley in 87...i do hope the club do a tribute to him at 1st home league game
RIP Jim
Like Wheelfass, I first met Jim at the Plough on London Road in the small back room listening to Silk playing rock/prog rock to all those who loved that genre of music. Don't think I missed a Sunday night there in the early 70's, once my mates had introduced me to the place. Jims distinctive deep voice ! Pity he couldn't have copyrighted it and then sued John Peel !
Living in East Anglia now, I hadn't crossed paths with Jim for a good few years but on those occasions that I did, he would always talk to me as if I was a good mate and make time for a chat (over a pint of course !)
Jim was one of life's, all to rare, genuine, good guys and he'll be sadly missed by all those who knew him.
Thee bassiest voice, will always remember my first game at HR walking up the steps and hearing those deep tones. Total proud moment when he read my name out in the line-up announcement when I played at HR.
Glad he got to see us win at Wembley last season before he passed.
Shame we haven't got any players left from Jims day (suppose Michael Doyle now).
I remember New York Yankees had a legendary announcer & Derek Jeter asked after he retired then passed away that they'd use his voice announcing Jeter to bat.
