Was absolutely gutted to hear this on Saturday and have been looking out for updates since. There hasnt been much news coming out of Exeter. He had surgery late Sat evening and has been in ITU since. Exeter's statement said he would be uncontactable until further notice. So we're sitting with our fingers crossed.
Hope to god he pulls through. I was lucky enough to meet him through a mutual friend a couple of years ago and ended up chatting about Spurs with him for a good couple of hours, telling him with delight I'd watched a video of the 1972 UEFA Cup Semi when he scored two bloody amazing goals. Lovely down to earth bloke. He must have thought I was a complete freak but hey, I was star struck.
Was one of the biggest names around when I was a kid growing up following football. Great player and always seemed like a decent bloke. Wish him well for a full recovery.
Well i hope he recovers and all that but I cant forget the way he told me to go away when i asked for his autograph on the pitch at the valley , prob early 80's this was
All the best to Steve a great full back and servant to Spurs always thought he was a bit unlucky not to get an England cap. Lets hope his recovery goes well.
Finally some good news, was transferred from Intensive Care to a high dependency ward yesterday. Apparently he managed his first cup of tea since being taken ill too.

One of the Tottenham greats. Simple as that.

You haven't bought anything in the Charlton area recently, have you?
