Notts County legend Jimmy Sirrel dies aged 86
»» Opinion
Sympathy this morning to our neighbours across the Trent following the sad news of Jimmy Sirrel’s passing.
Mr Sirrel was best known for leading Notts County in an unlikely charge up the Football League in the 1970s. He was also briefly manager of Sheffield United, before returning to Meadow Lane for more against-the-odds success in the ’80s. He retired in 1987 and the Magpies’ County Road Stand was named in his honour.
He was famous for saying, “Ask any kid what he knows about Notts County and he’ll tell you they’re the oldest football team in the world. By the time I’ve finished he’ll know a lot more.”
