Here's Jimmy Jess on TFB for those that missed it:

He got the nickname 'the Ghost' from when he first arrived at the club as a teenager as he would arrive for and leave after training without saying a word.

Note: Barry Richardson in the mid-80s going through Jess' contract live on TV explaining how much Jimmy was costing the club per kick and handball.

Explains in part why we went into the wilderness for 37 years. We lost players not adapting to the arrival of the professional era and we were going broke due to our own stupidity.
