"Jackie, Jackie Sinclair"
"Jackie Sinclair on the wi-ing"
Not only a top class goalscoring right winger, and supplier of great crosses for the Doog - but managed to play in a Newcastle side that actually won something.
R.I.P
He's right, Weller and Glover were rubbish. The only one to come close was Josh Low.

Ironically Tommy Wright, a cousin of Jackie Sinclair is the best winger I have seen play for City.

My Dad rated him as well and he was in the team when I first starting going regularly and well remember the song as well, and we've used it for other wingers since of course.
He scored 50 goals in 103 appearances for us. That today for a winger would be worldclass. I seem to remember he had a good game for the Geordies in the Fairs Cup Final and he scored as they beat Glasgow Rangers in the Fairs Cup Semi Final second-leg at St. James’ Park.
RIP JACKIE
sorry Jeff, your wrong, Weller and Glover were two great players. I saw them all, and the best for me was Glover, but its an opinion, as a right winger Sinclair was indeed an outstanding player, but Weller had more strings to his bow, midfield playmaker, right wing it didn't matter, he could play both with considerable ease. Lenny Glover in a class of his own, speed, flair, goalscorer gave 100% everytime he played, and a leftie to boot.

Jackie Sinclair. Great player. Fast, skillful, tuff and could score goals. We were stupid to sell him.
Sinclair and Dougan, great partnership. Sinclair, Goodfellow, Dougan, Gibson, Stringfellow fantastic forward line.
Disgracefully few posts in honour of Jackie Sinclair. I can only think all on here are teenagers too young to remember.

Although too young to remember him, I am well aware of him. My granddad who had been following Leicester since the war brought me up on tales of the Matt Gillies' side which chased the double in the early 60s, he always told me that was by far and away the best Leicester side he ever saw, far better than anything MON or Bloomfield put out. I could probably name that side off by heart just by the tales he told me: Banks, Gibson, McLintock, Cross, Stringfellow, Keyworth, Sjoberg, Sinclair, Dougan, Goodfellow...
So, I am well aware what he did for the club and while I am sad for the loss of someone who helped build this club to what it is today, I don't know why you think I or anyone else has to come in here and post some pointless "RIP" post just to show this to everyone.
