Old school manager, steeped in knowledge. The like we'll never see again.
Played when football was loved and not run as a business

I remember him as manager of Leeds. After the Revie-era he held them together for a few years, before they plunged into the lower division under subsequent regimes.
R.I.P. Jimmy Armfield.
