In fairness I think Fisher's or Seppala's funeral would attract far more people than Sir Jack Heywood's did! I would be at the front of the queue just to make sure their dead.

My mate is a Wolves fan, and I went with him to the game when they were holding tributes to him. It was very heart warming to see how a football owner can be so close to the fans. Made me angry as well though!


They were in a similar position to how we are now when he took over them. Foreign owners who knew nothing of football, at odds with the local council, rubbish squad, attendances at all time lows, new ground needed, no money, no prospects, no future.

I was talking about him to a mate who's a big Wolves fan and he wasn't just a great footballing man. He apparently gave millions away including buying Lundy Island (I think that's right) which is located in the Severn estuary and then donating it to the national trust ensuring this wildlife haven was safe from developer's.

Great club. Great man. Thanks Jack for just being Jack. We could do with a few more.

You mean because he was quoted as saying he wanted someone from Wolverhampton to own the club rather than a foreigner?

You would have to be suffering from some severe mental issues to prefer Mamud from Dubai owning CCFC than someone from Allesley.

Don't worry, I'm not.

I just find it laughable that you accuse a man who fought Nazism as being a Xenophobe.

My Dad played football with Sir Jack, long before the knighthood.

Said he was a great bloke.

All I know is that he got us a couple of tickets for the '87 cup final :claping hands:
