Big Dunc, best CB I ever saw.

Looked huge on the pitch but was only 5'11''.
Always played in short sleeved shirt regardless of the weather.
Best header of the ball ever. May be not so great on the floor, but hey, Stringer was there to mop up.
Very hard man. Probably would not get through a match with today's rules, but never a dirty player.
First saw him in 1969, a natural leader.
Very sad day.
