Following on from the news of John Ritchie's death was the game between Wednesday and Manchester United in 1968 match played at Hillsborough.

The ground was packed to the rafters. Manchester United were European Cup holders. Their side was full of players who were or who became legends. It was a bright autumnal day. And Jack Whitham scored four of the five Wednesday goals. I doubt if anyone who was there will forget that day.

By the way, where is Jack nowadays?

51,931 spectators packed into Hillsborough 31 August 1968 for the 5-4 win over Manchester United. The scorers were Ritchie, Whitham 3 and a Stiles' og, is the official line. Stiles headed the ball into his net but because Whitham was standing next too him, a few fans wanted to 'bend it'!
The last I heard of Jack was years ago when he was landlord of "The Wadsley Jack".

Jack left the Wadsley Jack and became manager of the Police Club at Niagara for a few years, finally leaving in June last year. I'm not sure where he is now, but quite often see him at a couple of folk clubs when he turns up with his guitar.
