He’s a friend of a friend & saw him about 3 or so years ago, & it was so sadly obvious he had some form of difficulty. He’s now brave enough to go public & should be admired. Cracking player for us in his day, & woefully underused by England. Feel slightly hypocritical on having him on my list today. Gordon Cowans has taken a detoriation (from X); Gordon Cowans is in a nursing home as his dementia takes a stronger hold. Goodness Sid you deserve much better for all that skill you gave us on the pitch and the laughs off the pitch.You maybe not able to remember much but we will remember always. God bless Sid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

God bless Sid He was with Dennis Mortimer & Tony Morley on Lichfield market a couple of weeks back doing a memorabilia thing. He really wasn't in a good way. Crying shame to see your heroes go like this. Paradoxically his feet did all the talking - was renowned for avoiding heading! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diego 1,980 Posted March 28 David Jackson was born in Stoke-on-Trent and died aged 87, his career mirroring that of his twin brother Peter. He was an interior lineman. The pair played at Wrexham and Bradford City, where their father, Peter Jackson, was manager. When their father was sacked in March 1961, the brothers also left immediately to sign for Tranmere Rovers for a combined fee of £3,000. They played a total of 449 league games, scoring 76 goals for City. Their careers were briefly separated when Jackson signed for Halifax Town two years later, before they both played together at non-league clubs Frickley Colliery, Altrincham and Hyde United https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/24216427.david-jackson-scored-68-goals-six-years-bradford-city/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
