He was the man. Loved watching him. I was not even a teenager when he scored the 30th goal in that 6-0 thumping of Chelsea. The following pitch invasion was amazing for such a wee nipper.

Happy Birthday Bob.

If only we had a striker like him now.

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

Total hero, best striker in my era.

Happy Birthday, all the very best wishes !

After Latchford scored his 30th goal in 1978, Dixie Dean said as a playful challenge:

"Well done lad, but remember, you're only half as good as I was!"
