Lived a man called Jimmy Smith.

What a legend - Rip Bald Eagle.

Legend is such an overused word - but it is absolutely the right one to use this morning. Sorry - I have something in my eye.

A very sad event.

Jim Smith created a football team for us, and one that will struggle to be bettered in my lifetime.

So many great memories of matches at The Manor under Jim. We were good. Very good. The atmosphere, entertainment and quality on show was so inspiring.

I think it would be a great and fitting memorial to re-introduce the Oxfordshire Benevolent Cup, as an annual end of season event, perhaps between Oxford and QPR, with funds raised going to the organisations that supported Jim in his final years.

It would also be welcome if Tiger were to commission a bronze statue of Jim to be placed at the stadium.
