Saw him in a night club in Largs, Scotland on the pre season tour in summer 87 ( initially I clocked him in the gents - naturally I tried not to stare too much -

) and had a brief chat with him when we both walked back outside about that days game at Morton and hopes for 87/88 season. Lovely sincere bloke, we went our separate ways, and as half the then current first team were in the club I ended up chatting to Steve Williams for a while ( who was hilarious with stories slagging off John Cartwright but I digress).
I was out of London at an all day event in reading on the Saturday the news broke that he had died , and as in those days it wasn't as easy to keep in touch with football when on the move, so I didn't hear anything from the Spurs game, until I got home around 6 and stuck on teletext ( wow! That dates it) with the intention of checking the NLD score, but immediately that was forgotten when I saw the huge headline. I absolutely froze stunned . On the Sunday I managed to persuade my now wife ( who I hadn't known that long then) to come with me over to Highbury and lay some flowers on the steps of the marble halls, which a few people had done already.
One thing I will say - when I'd watched the coverage and game on MOTD was the minutes silence. Whilst we feel about the spuds the way we do and there is a lot of nastiness on both sides down the years, their fans were impeccable for holding the silence for rocky that day, when there could of easily have been some horrible comments made, and - as I say to spuds fans I have got to know socially over the years- I'll always thank them for that .
