Tosh in his book,says that Big John Charles was his hero and actually taught him how to Head the Ball correctly,the two worse thinks the club have ever done was sell Tosh when we were top of league 2(now Championship) and not to take him back as Assistant player Manager.
He was without doubt our best ever player and certainly the best Manager with links to our Club!(Managed Real Madrid twice!)
