I played in the same Orient youth side as Billy Hurley 4 times until I stopped playing through injury. A great kid who was a year or so younger than me and I am surprised Billy never progressed further as he was a great prospect. I remember having a quick beer after training with Billy, Chris Drogman, Ian Morris and others.

My memories of Bobby Roberts was his early days at Edinburgh Norton and then to Motherwell, our area of Edinburgh produced many fine players when Bobby and his fellow pros would would turn up to train in Holyrood Park occasionally. We would all be in awe of their skills, then try to apply them in our own games, I always tried to be just like Bobby with varying degrees of success. He really was a superb player and a really nice guy. Fond memories of happy days.

Hi Tony, sorry to hear you’ve not been too well lately hoping you pick up soon.I was watching The Big Match Revisited and there was a game featuring yourself playing for Spurs against Coventry I told my wife that you worked at Naylors when I was there. I was a machine operator and you were in my team. I always remember you as a quiet polite lad. Our paths certainly went different ways but every now and then I tell people that we worked together. Best wishes for the future, all the best Bill Bramley

My cousins Eulogy indicates that Walter Sydney - (or Walter Sidney Lane) - a Grocer by trade was also said to be one of the first Professional Plymouth Argyle football players, he died in 1940. He was also a very keen cricketer. Can you confirm this was the case?

Do you think England could ever have fielded a team with Stan Bowles, Alan Hudson, Rodney Marsh and Frank Worthington together in their line up ?

As well as being a top footballer, at school Patsy was also a top chess player. His favourite move was to swap queens after which you didn’t stand a chance!

About 53 years ago, we were living in a 2up - 2down terrace in West Norwood, South East London. My brother, (a lifelong Gooner who worshipped the ground CG walked on) and I shared a bedroom. We were both about 5 or 6 years old (we’re 1 year apart in age). His half of the room was festooned with Arsenal pictures and my half had the Wombles! We were sitting on the end of our beds chatting when he said, “I want my first child to be named after Charlie George.” I honestly can’t remember what else we talked about, but that stuck in my mind. Fast forward 25 years and his first kid was born. Charlotte Georgina will be 31 this year.
