Hugh Janus Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 On holiday and met a couple of blokes from Ipswich. One of their relations is an ex-Jags player name of Billy McLeod. Era he played in was late 70's. Anyone remember him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter of '63 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I actually remember seeing him play for us in a 4-0 defeat at Ibrox in about 1980. The reason being that we had sold Doug Somner, Jim Melrose and Colin McAdam for about £500,000 in total and our only striker was Billy McLeod, a free transfer from Ipswich. We hardly got out of our half in the entire match and McLeod had the thankless task of chasing aimless punts against a Rangers defence of experienced Internationalists. Not surprisingly he disappeared without trace. Astonishingly, we finished sixth in the Premier League that season with a strikeforce of Tony Higgins and Alex O'Hara both of whom were pretty hopeless.

stuthejag Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 think he is in this picture behind Colin Jackson & Alex O'Hara and a wee snippet from the paper saying he's been freed 1979-80 team group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) 1979-80 team group The things you forget as you get old! I was at school with 2 players in the squad, Gordon Taylor & Davy Greer. Taylor was left winger at Everton & a decent player, but quit to come back home to become a PE teacher. I don't remember if he ever played for the 1st team Greer was a big headed twat that thought he was better than he really was. Big sexy Lexy Grant was also at the same school Ps great strips!
