Remember him with fondness, just goes to show how precious life is,and worrying about a new or retained manager is so pointless

Glad he got his own thread because Phil was a giant in defence for the Os during the most successful spell in our history.
Spoke to Phil at the unveiling of Laurie Cunninghams sratue in 2019. He was such a lovely man

I remember Phil so well, was my favourite player of that era. He signed for Norwich from us, was a good player for them too - last I had heard he was still living up here in Norfolk.
R.I.P Phil, thanks for all the memories.

That goal will live in my memory forever and I'm sure he'd turned with his hands in the air before it had hit the back of the net.

A great servant of this club and a damn good footballer.

RIP Phil - but at only 72, far too young.

Very sad news.

He must have been a really good player. Bought for £30 000 and sold for £110 000 after 295 games.

RIP Philip
