Great to see that the board have recognised Jimbos excellent leadership has continued at this higher level of football and rewarded him with a much deserved extended contract. It will be great to see Jimbo lead us out at our brand new stadium and I for one could think of nobody better. Great news and congratulations Jimbo

Here Sir J on Radio Lancashire talk of his delight in signing a new contract.

Appearance 250 this Saturday.

What a pity the signing couldn't have been done on the pitch prior to the game. However he'll be given a reception worthy of the occasion.

When was the last time a player signed his contract on the pitch prior to a game.

They tend to have more important things to worry about don't they?

[Christies Child]

There certainly has been one. Probably in the days of Jim Harvey.

Justin Jackson or was it even Sir J himself?
