I'm glad we won't be coming up against him again, but to be fair, I trust he finds a good future off the pitch. He was a very good player at our level.

Yes - a very good player. Only surprised he didn't retire with a persistent head injury.

Don't say that. It reminds me of poor Jeff Astle.:sad:
Blatherwick was certainly too good for Burton and Rankin ... and the route one style always employed against him by our then manager.

A solid professional - no higher praise of a defender than how relieved we all are that we'll not have to face him again.
Hope his future is a very successful one.

He started at Forest so may be ok financially.
An excellent defender, probably the best of his type at this level for a number of years, though it might have been the way we played against him :shrug:
I reckon he'd make a decent manager.

Hated Blatherwick with a passion! Cant begin to describe how much he wound me up! Cant believe how gutted I am to see him forced out of playing! A solid old fashioned centre back who always played well against us. I wish him all the best, I'm sure there is a future in the game somewhere for him.

I wonder how many pro footballers around the circuit there are that would attract the kind of respect we obviously have for Blatherwick?

He was a donkey centre half .. but a bloody good one !
He headed everything that came his way and got his boot on everything ... and like others have said .. I wished he had played for us
Good luck to the fella in his retirement

Says a lot about him that so many recall him with a sort of grudging affection. It's easy to remember the flair players or those who wind you up (or, in Leon Knight's case, fit both categories) but for a solid centre-half to be remembered shows he was one of the best of his type. Good luck to him

I always thought we could of done with him. He just done what a centre back had to do. Good luck geezer.
