Remember those pitches were like ploughed fields for most of the year. Imagine seeing Devo on today’s carpet-like surfaces. He would be absolutely unstoppable.

I’ve always had a pathological dislike for Wigan ever since their left back took out Devo in the FA Cup in 1983 and put him out ot the game for almost two years.

Yep, he was quality, even when they was trying to kick lumps out of him. He let his football do the talking. Used to glide across the pitch.
And he used to pop in our bookies in Stepney green to do the dogs on his way to the ground on a saturday. Think he owned some greyhounds then, or a bit later. We used to tell him to listen out for us over there. As if..!

Great player to watch, so comfortable on the ball. Made it look easy.

Along with Sir Trev and Bonzo one of the three all time greats post Moore era. Terrible shame that a bad injury cut his career short and if he'd have been around in today's game would easily be a £40-50m player , better than any current England player in his position by some distance. Smoked like a chimney and spent half his life in the bookies as many did back then but top player.

Spindly legged genius, rejected twice by Palace for being too small.
Couldn't call him small now, though
