Leafe, Dick Dick was my great uncle. Took me to watch West Ham play at Lincoln City 1957-1958 season. Hammers won 6-1. Dick introduced me to manager Ted Fenton and the West Ham team. Also took me to Wembley to watch England v Scotland. Before the match in the hospitality lounge Dick introduced me to the Beverley Sisters - the Spice Girls of their day. One married to the England captain Billy Wright. Great memories.
