I had heard all about my uncle Mick from my Dad. But we didn’t get to see him because he lived up north. One day in Spring, he came down with his wife Jean to see us all. We went to the park and had a kick about. I could see that he was a brilliant footballer (as my Dad had told me) just from kicking around. We had a lot of fun that day. I felt welcome in his presence. He knew more about me than I realised at the time. When I look back I understand that he and my Dad would have chatted a lot on the phone about their kids. Anyway, I remember that special day as a happy, sunny moment in my life. If I had to guess on the date I would say that it was in May 1991. I remember this because Mick was trying to recreate a goal that Gazza had scored in an FA cup semi final v Arsenal. He succeeded of course. God bless my uncle Mick and all of his family X
