Was in the Bridgford Hotel car park as it was known in those days - It was after a night match and it was peeeing down with rain - my car wouldn't start and Jim drove into the car park to drop someone else off who he just gave a lift to from the Main Stand Car Park - I know, it was only a couple of hundred yards but the heavens had really opened up.
He saw me struggling but he couldn't help - but he did ask if he could give me a lift home - I replied "No you can't do that, I live in Ravenshead" He assured me it was no problem and he took me all the way home.
We had a great conversation on the way and when he said he lived in Ruddington I felt quite guilty and I couldn't get over how nice the guy was - something I'll never forget!!!
He'd never ventured that far North before and I always wonder to this day how he found his way home.
