Mick Rathbone. What a character and an often overlooked past of North End's history.

I can still see him now. Perched on the touchline just waiting for a North Ender to go down injured. He'd be on that pitch quicker than speedy-gonzales with his sponge and bucket. Oh yes, I'm smiling now. Remembering.

What a great guy. I think he should be remembered.

Spoke to Mick recently, a proper North End Soul. 😉
