I heard that they were the result of a ship docking in the docks that had come from China and the crew had been struck down with a terrible illness.To stop the illness spreading the bodies were buried in a mass grave and encased in concrete .When our non-chairman heard of this rumour he instructed the workman  to carry on dismissing the concerns by saying whats the worst that could happen.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

This "terrible illness" wasn't the forerunner of this blight that is now ravaging the country? Same source

The baffling thing is they had to remove concrete to level the goalmouths.

I remember on a ground tour about 15 years ago Dave Smith saying BP WSS built on the site of a brick works. Maybe the concrete was part of the floor for that.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from golfer
I am a qualified landscape gardener so I know about these things. In 1963 Town ordered new goal posts and I was assigned with the job of fitting them. I was on Town's books at the time as a goalkeeper. I had a problem - I hadn't finished growing so I was only 4ft 71/2ins. Mr Johnstone who always gave me advice said i could either shorten the goalposts or raise the ground with sand whenever it rained under the pretence of getting rid of puddles. I chose the latter. I was never picked for the first team even though our regular keepers were often injured with head injuries and probably was the main cause of our relegation at the end of that season.  I am so sorry.


You were 4ft 7.5 inches but never made it as a pro goalkeeper? Wonders never cease......

I found your photo in the 1963 Year Book.
