Summary
RIP Jack, like others have said on this sad occasion, he is and was Mr Scunthorpe United. I well remember that day against Blackpool in the cup, we were 1-2 down at half-time but came back to win 6-2, we drew Norwich in the next round but lost to them I think it was 2- 4. When you think back to when Jack was playing, it was the last time we were in this division and it's sad it happened at such a great time for this club. Thanks for the memories Jack, a true gentleman as a player, trainer and ambassador of this great little club of ours.
Brock, Keadby Jack had finished playing by the time I started watching the Iron in the late 1960s. He was one of the stars of the great United team of the late 1950s who was revered by my Dad. To have served only one club is remarkable to us in these rent-a- player times. Hopefully the club will ensure there is a permanent memorial to Jack and the earlier suggestion of a statue on the way to Glanford Park seems fitting to me.See the full content of this document
