I see he was suffering from lewy body dementia, the same as Stuart Taylor former Bath City manager and Bristol Rovers player. This type of dementia is the one they think is linked to heading the ball.

He played during my time at college, the only period when I haven't watched City so I can't remember him.

I see from the Good Book that he made 17 appearances and scored a solitary goal in a 6-1 win against Walsall Reserves. This was a Border Counties Floodlight League Cup replay at TP on 3.2.74. The original tie was played at Fellows Park on 31.10.73 - some 95 days earlier! The long wait was not due to police insistence but probably the fact that we were involved in 8 separate competitions that season.

RIP Roger

I think it was the Crystal Palace connection with Bert Head that brought him to City for that one season.
