R.I.P.

He was the goalkeeper the last time Port Vale won a divisional championship in 1959. There's a good chance they could win the League Two title today.

Possibly, in my time, the most fondly remembered for his occasional antics and spectacular saves. If he had the unfailing reliability to match, he would have been a top keeper. But, as he was, much loved, and remembered for the best bits, including winning the league, he was a top man.

Lovely man and great keeper who helped Town to win the 2nd tier title in 1968 with only five losses on the way. Ken, along with Lev Yashin, were my boyhood goalkeeping heroes. He used to come to our village fete and participate in the dog show. Always had time for people, and as I said, a lovely man.RIP Ken

I was surprised when Robson sold Hancock to Spurs to be deputy to Pat Jennings, although maybe he was right that David Best was a better bet.

I believe McGarry signed Hancock in 1964 the first year I started following the mighty blues RIP

I saw him play but was too young to remember much about him. One of the 1968 League 2 Champions. 180 appearances according to Pride of Anglia.

RIP Mr Hancock.
