Number 3 deffo Don Megson, number 6 more than likely Gerry Young? Number 8 is probably Johnny Fantham?

If he wrote that piece in 1967 he was a very perceptive man knowing that we got relegated in 1970 and would be floundering in the lower leagues in 76 .he's a modern day feature writer for the magazine .....

That’s where ‘research’ can sometimes fail you. Cheeseman’s a Graphic Designer, not a writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
