http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35141430Seen as a very lightweight figure but actually one of the most influential men in the history of British sport.

FFS, any time I ever saw him on TV no matter what the context, none of that was ever mentioned  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I dont really follow football but he was well known, although mainly for the chin. This stood out: Quite an achievement, although I wonder if he ever predicted how bonkers uncapped player wages would get. RIP sir!

I was never a football fan, but I have often watched him talk about football, he was always passionate about his subject and charismatic. He was a household name as I was growing up. Heck, his name and long chin even became a derisive term for somebody telling porkies.
RIP

It will be the three points for a win rule that I'll remember him. RIP Jimmy.
