Letter: Childhood football heroes Chivers, Yorath and McCreadie gone now, but they provided excitement and great memories
A letter from Gerry Cullen:
You know you are getting older when your boyhood football heroes start to pass away.
This January we have lost Martin Chivers (Spurs and England), Terry Yorath (Leeds and Wales) and Eddie McCreadie (Chelsea and Scotland).
In more innocent childhood times when Match of the Day on a Saturday night and the Big Match on a Sunday were compulsive viewing, Martin Chivers, Terry Yorath and Eddie McCreadie provided excitement and great memories.
Gerry Cullen, Dungannon
