Ron Rafferty for me.


Plenty in that era - Ron Rafferty  Jimmy Fell  Johnny Scott  Mike Cullen Duncan Welbourn  Keith Jobling  -  any one of these would get in our present team

Frank Barton was from Barton.
At the time there were 3 players with their name of their home town.
Alan? Sunderland, playing for Arsenal, but I can't remember the third.

More useless information.

Keith Jobling, centre back from the mid 50's to the mid 60's?. Local lad from New Waltham with about 450 league and cup appearances for town. He was a good defender who formed a good partnership with Ron Cockrill who made about 320 appearances for town. These two were the centre of the defence when I started watching town. Both true legends.

So futcher is a cult hero on the basis that he joined us so late and only really played 3 seasons or the equivalent.




Yes. Futchenstein is a cult hero.

Post edit.....I presume you meant Paul....not Ben 😀

Quoted from GYinScuntland
I'm too old to be hero worshipping now and this is probably more hero worshipping than a legend, but our number 7 from back in the 70's, Jack Lewis.
He used to put a shift in on the pitch then could be found calling the bingo in the amusement arcade on Beacholme in Humberston.
Like many footballers back in the day, they didn't earn big money and many had second jobs.


It's crazy when you think about it. Dave Boylen would walk into this team and be the best player by a mile, and he used to sell Ringtons tea to supplement his wages.

Think it was Dave Worthington who had a job selling ice creams in the summer.
