He had a reputation as an all-round innovator in football and he changed the way clubs thought and how players themselves were treated by helping to get rid of the maximum wage
He also commissioned the first English all-seater stadium, the Ricoh Arena
Another CCFC who had a famous FA Cup win (with former Cardiff City star Dave Bennett in their side)

sorry but the first all seater stadium was not the Ricoh Arena it was Highfield road thirty odd years earlier..
the idea was abandoned after Leeds smashed hundreds of seats up but was re introduced after the Taylor report { Hillsborough }

No need to apologise, as it washy error; but I'll accept it in part credit of all the other mistakes you made but declined to admit afterwards
