I remember Joe Kinnear when he played for Tottenham. He was a fine defender and played international football for the Republic of Ireland. He also enjoyed a good spell as manager of Wimbledon.
Played against us in the UEFA Cup Final in 1972. A true pro who was a mainstay for Tottenham Hotspur.
My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
It’s funny, but when characters like Joe Kinnear pass away, someone who you don’t really know but just what seemed like yesterday was a larger than life character in the football world you were once immersed in, it makes you realise how crazy fast life flies by.
A good football man, decent player and a decent manager.
I remember when Joe was appointed Newcastle manager by the unpopular Mike Ashley. Really surprised by his appointment, but he did a really good job for them.
