I have to admit that I didn't really like the man, but it cannot be denied that he had a huge impact on modern football.
He was responsible as the players union chief for the abolition of the maximum wage (£20 at the time) which at the time was a good thing, but with the current mega wages for some players now doesn't look so good.
He created the first all seater stadium (which is something I still hate), and was the driving force behind the 3 points for a win rule change which has been a good thing.
Also he had an amazing chin, always remember the joke by Jasper Carrott that Hill could get pickles out of a jar with it :)
But sad that another famous name has gone :(
