I never ever warmed to him but Alzheimer's is an absolute cunt.
Never forget...

It was always a good wind-up with people in the office that him and Graham Hill were brothers...RIP

They still sing;
"We hate Jimmy Hill, he's a poof, he's a poof" now.
Maybe they'll stop now.

Loved the way he irritated the Scots
Started when he described David Narey's 1982 World Cup goal v Brazil as a toe poke.
Top stuff Jimmy

He's been in a care home for a couple of years. Alzheimers. Can't communicate with anyone. Doesn't recognise his wife etc.

Changed the game.
Seemed like a passionate top bloke.
Will be forever remembered as already said as a playground slang!

I think he has had dementia or something similar for the last few years which is why he has been off the scene.

I wonder if the coffin lid will have to have a 'chin extension' built into it?!
Bless him, a real polymath of the english game really.
Plus I thought he was already dead. Sorry.

RIP Jimmy.
Face of football in the 70s and 80s.
Annoying at times but was honest and a decent bloke or appeared to be?
Greatest chin you will ever see. Even Lionel Richie would doff his cap to Hill's chin.

He was a revolutionary figure
3 Pts for a win & the end of the maximum wage ... down to him.
My Mum used to watch Fulham in the 50's and said when he got barracked by the fans once he dropped his shorts and showed them his ARSE. Beats cupping an ear.

Did he come on as a ref in one game, when the original ref was injured?
