I saw a picture of him in a Scottish paper while on holiday and did wonder if there was a family connection.

Bloody hell! I know the family through Dutch friends and met the kid once at a party. He never liked footy back then, preferring to play baseball at the time (12 years ago now?)

JFH - Leeds legend and a great bloke - hope young Nigel (named after Jerel's old team mate Nigel Martyn, BTW!), can go on to be as great as his dad.

Why. Did Jimmy's brother play too?

No - but Jerel's cousin Clyde did...

It was a serious question Twiggs. The article says Nigel is Jimmy's nephew so I assumed when you alluded to his Dad Jimmy's brother must have played too.

Clyde Wijnhard? Didn't know they were related if that's who you mean.

[Twiggster]

Doh! "Jimmy's" real name is JEREL (or Jerrel)
Clyde is a 3rd cousin twice removed or summat...both great blokes who love Leeds and our fans. They had some mean ganja back in the day! :rasta:

Hasselbaink was unplayable at times for us. Good lad is Jimmy.
