Oh no...Harry must have been around 63/64.
I knew he had been ill recently.

Sad news (if true) - quite often during a match Harry had to have a hair stylist on to set his hair straight after being tackled. It was fun we used to have with him from the old Cowshed.

RIP Harry !!

RIP Harry - one of our home grown players who went on to a bigger club.

My Dad worked for his Dad. I met him a few times. Really sad news.

Crikey, I watched him when he were no but a lad.

A player that would have progressed much further in our present set up, never really fulfilled his tremendous potential. RIP.

Used to live just around the corner from Harry as I grew up, same age as my brother and went to Ladysmith at the same time, used to be close friends with Julian Tagg from what I recall. Sad news RIP Harry

He was very talanted..He also played for England Schools at Rugby too iirc.

What truly shocking news. He was a year ahead of my at Hele's School & represented England Schoolboys at both football & rugby IIRC, so a very talented sportsman. As Sturtz says; would probably have progressed much further under our present system.
Condolences to his family & all who knew him.
RIP

Who can forget that riotous day(literally) at SJP when he put the Grecians in front against Wolves in the FAC right in front of their fans complete will missing fencing.
“Harry,Harry,give us a wave” sang the Cowshed.He of course duly obliged & was probably out drinking with a few of them in the Horse & Groom Heavitree later.
