Sad to read today that Eric Nixon has quit as goalkeeping coach due to injuries building up and his knees not being up to all the kicking involved with coaching keepers.
Eric was a brilliant servant to Tranmere and one of the few relics of our 'glory days' still present.
My favourite Nixon memories are:
Him leaving the pitch in his undies after the baying crowds stripped him bare following the win against Crewe that took us out of the old 4th division
My favourite moment ever watching football was Eric Nixon running the length of the pitch to smack David Speedie in the face after we'd all but lost the semi final against Leicester to go into the top flight.
