sternlad Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 If memory serves me correctly, Johnny Sissons was always orange ( a bit like that antiques bloke) he also did some coaching at Westfield school youth club when I was in the sixth form there. I was far too cool for youth clubs by then, but I did once see him playing for the Westfield staff against some other gadgies, wonder if he told the manager at Wednesday about that little contractual blip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he's still in the motors trade now. He was at the after match drinks party in the Seagulls pub when Wednesday played Hellenic in Cape Town Oct 92. Been living there since 1976 since signed for Cape Town spurs. Keeps fit by cycling 36 miles a day to work & back (or did then). Still had the blonde locks & permanent tan! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
