[Once upon a time .]

Mentioning , Rod Thornhill , I captained Rod in the school team , when he was a little left winger . You also mentioned Johnny Brooks I also knew him and several members of his family . The thing about John was that often on Sunday mornings he would watch kick abouts in Prospect Park or Coley Rec , then usually his Tottenham blazer would get laid on top of the other coats forming goalposts and he would join in . He just couldn’t resist a football .

Dann over Morrison - one of the most imbecilic decisions the club ever made.

Thanks for posting mate, I get a bit fed up being one of the oldest on here.
Good to have your company.

One other bit of memory lane for me-a highlight from my Wilson Junior days was a visit from old boy Sylvan Anderton.
Obviously a good player because of Chelsea buying him.

What a great name as well-I have never met another Sylvan in my whole life.

Although just a ‘spring chicken’ compared to you two (especially that SCR bloke ) ….a great read Once upon a time…lovely stuff!

I only go back as far as Charlie Hurley, players with day-jobs and RFC training in Prospect Park….players leaving the Spread Eagle twenty minutes before kick-off…..then playing ‘blinders’

[Once upon a time .]

Ted Drake signed Sylvan Anderton for Chelsea from Reading , He had to make a choice which wing half ( as they were called in those days) to sign , the other option was the legendary Dave McKay , who later signed for Tottenham !

I agree. But without imbecilic decisions, it is impossible to know exactly which decision is the right one.

……and in keeping with the thread title……

Rob Dickie leaves the falsies and joins Brizzul City

[From Despair To Where?]

And there's me thinking QPR had a player called Rob Dickieog.
