Shocked to hear this. Having followed Oxford for 35 years and being 48 I came across him regularly, always got on well and remember that Crewe game well.RIP Jeff.
Anyone know what happened?
Could not be more that about 48 I reckon, so young
Massive heart attack apparently, make the most of every minute of every day, life is precious.
And if you’ve had a row with someone close and you’re not speaking for some reason, is it really that serious to take it to yours or their death bed? Get over the problem and move on, nothing worse than “ I wish I’d have...”Damn, yes life is precious and we should live every day as if it's our last.

Jeff James had many friends from many walks of life, and to represent this, the family have now decided that they would like everyone to wear whatever they are comfortable in.
Jeff would love his 'Footbal Family' to dress to impress, but footwear is totally your choice, old or new shoes or trainers are truly in keeping with Jeff's passion for individualistic self expression.
Women can wear whatever reflects your memory of Jeff. Finally, everyone who wants to pay their respects to Jeff, from every club, city or country is welcome.
Jeff's honour and memory will be respectfully observed on the day
Thank you.
Heard there was a big turnout, a fitting send off.
There was. Several hundred from all over the UK, but mostly Oxford. The rendition of We Are The Famous OUFC in church will live with all of us that were there for a very long time. Jeff would have loved it.
RIP The General.
