Billy Ingham
Derek Scott
Billy Rodaway
Alan Stevenson
Ian Brennan
Jim Thomson?? front row far left?
Dobbo
Billy Hamilton

Faces of others are familiar but I don't have names!!

I went to Ribby Hall Village last year and found myself talking to Steve Taylor who lives on the site.

I could tell you a few tales about him from Vince but I'd better not. The players used to call him Bert (after Bert Lancaster) because of his film star looks.

Happy birthday CT

Candles banned Herts after my birthday five years ago when one of the passengers in the car on the way down to MK decided to light a candle on a cake just as the driver was forced into a sudden brake.

Reading a funny exchange between Phil Cavener and David Holt's son on FB at the weekend. After training, Holt and Steve Taylor took Cav and Kevin Young into Burnley Market to buy a record. Kevin put his hand in his pocket only to pull out a turd wrapped in a tissue that Holty had stuck in his pocket
