That was Dave Powell who was an excellent defender. His knee injury at QPR in March 1971 curtailed his career despite a few games for Cardiff after leaving us

John Tudor ran a pub in Ilkeston for a short while apparently.

He took over the Rock Tavern in Dronfield in late 1992 before moving to USA in mid 1993. I was in touch with him for a few years when he moved to Newcastle in 1971. He was delighted to see me again and often allowed me to stay in the pub after closing time. He and his wife, Christine are a lovely couple

He started with the Sidings in Dronfield in 1982 before moving to the Peacock in Barlow (my dad played in the Darts and Dominoes team for that pub at the time) and then to Fox and Goose in Old Brampton before retiring

He definitely ran a pub called the Sheet Anchor at Baldwin's Gate just outside stoke (see what I did there), when he was at Stoke City.

I went in there with some friends in the mid-70s and he was serving behind the bar. I spent the rest of the evening being awestruck that the only man in the entire history of football to have scored a hat trick in the World Cup final had handed me my change. I was so impressed I never even checked it :-)

Got my first" case" ball - ask your Dad you young 'uns - from that shop when my Dad took me round there and it was Jimmy who served us. I was about seven I think and lived just round the corner in Pearl Street.

Also remember in the 70's we played at Cardiff and a copper stood in the middle of the Blades fans he was also an ex Blades player.
