He’s given a lot more to the club and taken a lot less out than many shithouses associated with BWFC so I’ll never understand the vitriol aimed at him unless it’s another case of being unlucky to be a local born player 

Good luck to him

It really is a millstone many have had to bear.

Jimmy scored a fair few screamers but usually he was getting mauled by half decent wingers.Remember a right duffing he got at Everton by Konchelscis (ex Urinal & obviously spelled wrong) in  3-0 defeat.

Always committed going forward though never took the easy way out.

His sudden move to Rangers was one of the more surrprising sales in my time.  He was OK for us in Div 3 and Div 2 but no idea why Souness saw fit to take him up there when Rangers were relatively top side.  I think he went to Oxford in 2nd div after that.  A good career and a very decent person from what I knew of him.

From the two Rangers pals that I have they say that Souness was spending the big money on the marquee signings and needed a few players at low(ish) prices who could do a job at that level of football which wasn’t great at the time. JP fitted the bill

thought it was peter rudi

Was he not hung out to dry at right back...just thinking out loud, not sure

Back four of Phillips, Bergsson, Fish and Whitlow. Would have thought Whitlow would have been at RB? Wasn’t there mind so not sure. 

EDIT - I’ll bow to @jeep’s greater knowledge.

I seem to remember both of them being on that side of the pitch, to be fair to JP DiCanio was more than capable of turning him inside out at left back, the poor fucker had no chance on the right. No idea what Toddy was thinking!
