I sat with Ted at the recent Colchester v Dagenham game and the man is a legend. His knowledge is way out there..I have so much respect for a man that has given so much to the game of football. Its a pleasure to know him.I suggested he wrote a book of the tales that he can reel off….any publishers out there ?????

Effin Ted was one of his nicknames. I remember carving in a desktop during a boring lecture at Nottm Uni. ‘ Ted Hardy – the Paisley of the south.’ What a great footballing character.

I was there for the ’71 cup final mauling, and it shattered my child like belief at the time that, with Ian Huttley in goal and Dennis Moore at the centre of the defence, Dagenham could never be beaten! My mate still sees Ted at the local swimming baths where he goes nearly every morning, and says what a lovely bloke he is. Definitely a one-off.
