DangerousSausage Global Moderators February 23, 20169 yr I'll have a look at those when I can watch them with sound. The title brings to mind an anecdote from Steak Diana Ross - apparently Jimmy always licked the lid of the tomato ketchup, even when he and the team had gone out for a meal. Bet some waiters weren't too happy with that!
Who r ya?? You Pies!! Members March 18, 20169 yr Oh what memories and what a class goal , remember it well , so much to enjoy on this site , just love it , still exploring PoNΒ
Chris Administrators March 18, 20169 yr I watched the video on YouTube of him the other week. It confirmed a story I had been told as a child, basically Jimmy stayed with us - despite better offers from higher because he didn't want to let 'the people of nottingham down', the young players, board, chairman etc. *Sigh... You wouldn't get that respect these days.

You wouldn't get that respect these days. Jimmy was just a top manager and man , what you say shows his values , could do with those qualities across society not just in the cut throat world of the beautiful game , .... My word that team could play , will we see the likes again Β ???Β
Piethagoram Global Moderators April 11, 20169 yr I still vividly recall, when Howard Wilkinson arrived at Notts, Jimmy told him the side had skill but didn't want to put the effort in. Howard responded, "Jimmy, god Β I will make them work!"Β
Chris Administrators April 11, 20169 yr I loved hearing stories about his scouting methods, even today I often have various fans tell me stories of him. Scouting a player long term really does give a bigger picture, as you see their flaws more clearly and I do believe every manager should join in with the scouting. Jimmy spoke gold, which is clear by how successful he was that it worked.
Piethagoram Global Moderators April 11, 20169 yr Like Jimmy when scouting a player, whoever was sat next to him would be bruised as Jimmy would dig in an elbow and say "aye, did you see that bit of skill"
Piethagoram Global Moderators August 31, 20168 yr https://stuartfrew.wordpress.com/2007/09/04/an-afternoon-with-jimmy-sirrel/ Β Thinking of Pedro as his son makes his full Notts debut tonight
Dripsey3 +Supporters September 2, 20168 yr You could listen to Jimmy all day. They don't make them like that anymore.Β
