I thought he was a great signing for Argyle. Very tricky and wholehearted. He used to come down from Peverell to Central Park to watch us lads play during the school holidays and gave encouragement. So I’ve always had a great regard for him.

A rumour around at the time was that we really wanted Mike Summerbee, who was also playing for Swindon at this time, but couldn't afford him - Man City eventually took him for a much bigger fee than we paid for Sooty. After he finished his career he went to work in the Dockyard, in Goschen Yard, home of the big local club of the time, EEM Department. Met him there a couple of times when I picked my dad up after the annual Christmas party - the social event of the year. A great guy, and very modest about his footballing achievements. RIP Pilgrim.

Mike Summerbee's Mother lived in Kingsbridge at that time, and Mike knew and liked the area a lot and was quite keen on the move.

I thought he was an exciting winger to watch and as an autograph hunter he always had time to chat to me.

I wouldn't quite have seen him live, but I know the name. Is my memory playing tricks, or did he have a testimonial at Home Park with a programme whose cover read "Salute Dave the Brave"? If so, I was there!
