He was a proper old school football man. We had a magical few years with the Bald Eagle in charge. In 1996, after the Palace game that saw us promoted, I managed to get to him on the pitch during the melee and say “thank you”.

One of my favourite Graham Richards commentaries was that Palace game.

"They're theerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeee."

RIP Jim n hope we can recreate some of the magic we had under you.

RIP Jim.

He had no hair,
We didn't care,
Jimmy,Jimmy Smith.
