Away from football for a moment. My sincere condolences to the family and friends of a great Yorkshire character and sportsman, Harold “Dickie” Bird, who has sadly passed away today at the age of 92. Known for his eccentricities, warmth, and distinguished career, he became one of the most famous and respected officials in the sport’s history. I had the pleasure of meeting him on a few occasions.
RIP “Dickie”.
