Quoted from golfer
Funny how everyone in those days looked 50 years old and they had white legs.


Yes and they all look like brick outhouses!










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

I know the club do a staged squad photo in an empty ground before the start of the season, but it would be great to have a starting XI photo taken in front of a full Findus/Rammo’s Stand before a game, maybe one in front of the Ponny and another game one in front of the Main.

Having the fans in the picture adds loads more levels of detail and context, especially now that high definition cameras can produce excellent resolution.

With the advancement of AI all you need is a photo just before ko of each stand and you can marry the two images together

Maybe if the current team used as much Brylcreem, their passing would be that much "slicker"

Players started most games then. Nobody got injured much despite crunching tackles being allowed.
