Could I point you in the direction of my thread on the General Football Chat forum, which contains an excellent article by the esteemed Patrick Collins on Jimmy Hill's life and career. There really was so much more to the man. |

FA Cup Sixth Round 1958, Fulham beat Rovers 3-1. Jimmy Hill gets the first. Good goal by Geoff Bradford is only a consolation.

Remember him after the playoff win at Fulham,appearing on the cottage balcony and gave a good speech like talk to us,thought it was a classy touch Four and a half years later, Fulham came to Twerton in the Autoglass Trophy. Jimmy Hill was sat a couple of rows in front of me in the stand. After extra time, with the scores at two-all, Fulham won on penalties. As the crowd started to trickle away, I managed to get his attention, shook hands, and took the opportunity to remind him of his actions that day and how much we Gasheads had appreciated it. He said "what a great game!". I'm not sure if he meant the 4-0 Rovers win at Craven Cottage, or the game we had just seen at Twerton, but I didn't have chance to get him to clarify as Denis Dunford eased me out of the way and I disappeared again into the dark December night!!  |
