"A wonderful book. Reading it, I could see Jimmy's smile and hear his voice. The final chapter made me cry."

"Journalist and author Ridley provides us with some charming, nostalgic and heart-warming stories about Jimmy Armfield, the former Blackpool and England full-back who became an acclaimed broadcaster... Armfield's beacon values of respect and decency will ever endure. This book is a fitting tribute to a wonderful man."
