[Football] Joe Kinnear RIP

[DJ NOBO]

A long time ago he was one of our own.
And as a manager he was a true character.
77 years old.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

That’s sad news.

Played 75/76 as I recall.

RIP

RIP Joe. Sad news

 

[timbha]

I seem to remember him being stretchered off in what turned out to be his last game for us. He didn’t exactly get a round of applause! Have I been dreaming?

RIP Joe

 

[Robinjakarta]

Came to us with Phil Beal from Tottenham. Both good players, but unfortunately, their best days were well behind them when they joined us and neither shone or lasted long here. RIP Joe Kinnear.

 

[Brownstuff]

Close to being our manager once

 

[Algernon]

Sad.
R.I.P Joe.

Sad news.

Does anyone remember his testimonial against Spurs March/April 76? As I recall Marsh, Venables and Mullery played for us. I think Spurs took over the North Stand as they were to do again a couple of years later.

I was at that game and don’t recall any trouble at all . I’m sure there was no need for segregation that night, paying to go in any stand is a lot different from taking it…… two years later things were a bit different!

Didn’t we lose something like 5-0?

Legend has it Jimmy Greaves was due to play, but sadly got waylaid at a licensed premises somewhere

Yes, it was a heavy defeat but I think it was a full strength Spurs side.

RIP Joe

I remember a bloke in the South Stand giving him dogs abuse when stretchered off . I think, though could be wrong, it related to a missed penalty in the previous game which hampered our promotion push.
RIP Joe

I think you are right

 

[ManOfSussex]

Wimbledon finished 6th in The Premier League under him in 1994, he led them to both domestic cup semi finals in 1997, he won The FA Cup, 2 League Cups and The UEFA Cup with Spurs as a player before joining Albion and played 26 times for Ireland. A great football character. RIP.
