Was sorry to hear of the news of Mr Hiron's passing (he was my first football coach and Dad of a friend, would not feel right calling him anything else). He coached me at Highlands Colts in the early 80's, the first time I had ever thought of playing football. He told me once to practice kicking with my left foot against the wall of my home and as he knew where I lived would make sure I did this by driving past now and again. Obviously I believed him and practiced as instructed, like to say I developed into a 2 footed player but not all of us can be saved! The fact that my Dad was Pomper through and through and had been since his youth in the late 40's/early 50's meant that me playing for a team coached by a PFC legend was a bonus. RIP Coach and thanks for the great memories with Highlands Colts. Thoughts to Mrs Hiron, Steve, Tony and their families.
