I wrote to Jack during the 1966 World Cup, asking if he'd be kind enough to get the players' autographs for me, when the English squad was staying at the Hendon Hall Hotel in north London. I included a self-addressed envelope with a stamp on it.

Within a couple of days the envelope was put through my letter-box by the post-man.

On the hotel's blue headed note-paper were the autographs of all the squad plus Harold Shepherdson (coach) and Alf Ramsey (manager). I was thrilled. I still have them.

RIP Jack. May his memory be a blessing.
