Has passed away today age 83
Sadly no more characters like him in the game anymore
-
The guy just loved football He used to be a regular at the UMBRO Tournament in Manchester and would talk football with anyone all day if he could
-
overall 7/10 for his footy acheivements. 10/10 for bringing some flair to the game. A life well lived.
-
His Manchester City team couldn't beat Alty back in October 1979 though....

RIP Mal. Big guy, big personality. I remember watching the 1982 World Cup games in The Sale Hotel, my local at the time, Malcolm was in for many games, sat with us ordinary folk and provided insight. No Billy BB stuff just a bloke in the pub who knew what he was on about. Sad loss.

"John Bond has blackened my name with insinuations about the private lives of football managers Both my wives are upset" RIP Malcolm Allison

He was at Droylsden v Alty about 10 years ago.....the game on a Sunday.....we lost 2-1.......Steve Hawes scored our goal.

Although a great football man, he owed a great deal of his success, IMHO, to the truly great and even more self-effacing, Joe Mercer. The team HE brought to ML in (I think) 1968 absolutely wiped the floor with us, Jackie and all!

You are spot on about how much Allison owed to Joe Mercer during their days at Maine Road.

Blimey, 1966!
I remember deludedly thinking we had a chance before the game.
I also remember it being a 90 minute car crash for us. It could have been 24.
Have to dash, I've got a motorway diversion to deal with!
