John Bird ex Newcastle reply

[rcsmg1]

I wrote to John at his studio near Doncaster in November and received them back signed from him with a note apologising for the delay in sending them back.

John Bird started his career with hometown club Doncaster before moving to Preston. It was his transfer from Preston North End to Newcastle United in 1975 which prompted the resignation of Preston manager Bobby Charlton. A week later, head coach and caretaker manager Nobby Stiles also resigned,John played for Newcastle for 5 years before playing for Hartlepool for 5 years. He later managed Hartlepool,York and Halifax.
