THE son of football legend Jimmy Johnstone has told for the first time about his love for his dad and how hugging him before he died was "the best thing" he ever did.

James Johnstone revealed his agony over Jinky's brave four-year battle against motor neurone disease and how he poured out his heart to him as his condition worsened.

It’s 2 years since Jinky died but he still makes me laugh every day

Russell Leadbetter

EVEN when he was ill with motor neurone disease, Jimmy Johnstone was in the habit of going on a training run through a park near his home. Sometimes, when he stumbled and fell, his condition would make it hard to get up again. Agnes, his wife and eternally patient carer, would set out to bring him back home.

She laughs. "One time I found him standing there. I asked him, What on earth is that sticking out of your head? It's like a television aerial.' He'd fallen in among some branches and a big one had stuck to his head.
