Ran a steady ship with shrewd business like acts. I can always remember saying that a new owner could buy the club and pay himself a salary of 35000 a year. Seems such a modest amount , shows what a down to earth guy he was. Remember I travelled to barnet in 2001 and seeing him in that grandstands smoking his Rollups ? Maybe he preferred them but again modesty. Having said that remember a few signings 60000 plus he made so could splash the cash for the club. Anyone remember his tv adverts on TSW. Loved them so dry talking
