Bill Cook has informed me that former City player Ernie Ward has died at the age of 71. Small in stature, but one of the quickest players ever seen at the Lane, he helped us to win the Southern League Division 1 championship in 1967/68. I'll do a feature on him in Saturday's programme. If anyone has memories of him that they want to share here then I can include them in my feature. Thanks.

Very sad, another boyhood favourite of mine. He arrived at around the same time as Stan Round and the pair were lethal. Was this the last time City ever played with two wingers? Happy days. RIP Ernie and thanks for the memories.

When I first saw Ernie Ward play I thought he was the quickest player I'd ever seen, but he soon came down to our standard.
