Trollope, John I was a STFC fan from the age of 10. I remember John joining us for a kick-about in a field near the BLACK HORSE pub in Wroughton. Most of us were in our early teens John towered over all of us! He lived 6 or 7 doors away from me but I only ever saw his brother Bill walking past our house on his way to work.
