My Dad worked for Bob Lord. In fact, it was Bob Lord who got him a ticket for the FA Cup final in 1962. My Dad had queued up but didn't get one. When he mentioned it at work, Bob turned up and gave him one (at face value of course :) . He wasn't all bad.

My mother, now well into her 90s, can remember serving him in her grandparents’ shop in the 1930s. She thought he was ‘cocky’.
