John Cumming. I also used to go into his shop, I remember he spoke to me once, and I couldn't answer him, I was too in awe of him ! I've said it before , and I'll say it again, we'll never see their likes again. I share your sentiments totally. I was in attendance at his first match with my father, at that time I was 5yrs old, Although we emigrated to Canada and I did see him play over here he without a doubt is one of the greatest, I have ever seen wear the famous maroon. To add to that fact the respect from former teamates I have heard , is totally in line with how he is often portrayed, That of a Gentleman.
