Possible new name for terracing?
I already nominated Trevor Foster so can't nominate Jack, but I'd be happy to see his name on the ballot form.
As has been said, a real stalwart

Four years ago- on, or around his ninetieth birthday, I spent an hour or so chatting to Jack at his then home in Wibsey. I was eager to talk with someone who was- to my knowledge, the only person alive to have watched Northern play at Birch Lane, and though not in the best of health at the time, he was happy to reminisce about the players, games and times spent at the ground.
He told one story which will stay with me forever, when as child, his father asked if he was coming to the match. Jack responded, “I don’t want to go because they always lose”, to which Jack’s father replied, “You don’t go to watch them win or lose, you go to watch them play”. How times have changed.
With Jack’s death, go all memories of Birch Lane- unless someone knows differently.
RIP

On behalf of Jack's family may I thank the people who took the time to submit the kind thoughts on my Dad's death.
