QUIGLEY, Eddie

Updated: 18-03-24

I played cricket with Eddies son, Derek in 1991 and 1992. Eddie was an opening batsman. I met Eddie at an away match and had a good chat with him. He had come to see the game. I am an avid Bury fan and enjoyed, very much, talking about his days at Bury. I was about 10 yrs old when I watched him at Gigg Lane but he was a good goal scorer and was very well liked by the Bury crowd.

My Dad taught Alun at Sion Hill in Kidderminster and I met him as a young lad when he was invited by Dad by then the headmaster of a school in Stourbridge, to open a school fete. I had a photo taken with him and I was in awe of him. Seemed a lovely man. Dad said he looked a good player as a youth.

Played against Keith for Richmond district and with him for Middlesex and London schools shared a room with him when we played Liverpool boys at Goodison park wonder if he can remember our team Dave Donaldson and Dave Price were in it England school boys vice captain and captain. Hope he’s keeping well. Best wishes Gerald Weale.

DOWD, HARRY

Still have a VHS tape of the 3 "Holy Trinity" comparison of players from United & City. Funny story told by Malcolm Allison about Harry within the recording about a team talk before a game against Arsenal. Apparently, according to Allison, Harry had no interests in the sport and only ever wanted to be a plumber. Allison gave a team talk prior to the match outlining various players in the opposition and who in the City team should look out for in the match, one by one. He eventually got round to Harry and said, "....oh and Harry...... Arsenal are playing in red!"

Hey Steve. I found an old pic with pride and thought I’d look up your name! Planning a trip with my kiddos this summer to Tulsa. Need a beer?

I was privileged to play in the same school team as Jimmy Husband and Lou Henry from 1960 to 1963. What wonderful gifted players.

WEBSTER, RON

Updated: 17-03-24

Ron was a fantastic player and servant to Derby County FC. I started supporting the Rams in 1966 so I saw the old team who were struggling and near the bottom of the 2nd division. Then Mr Clough arrived and things happened as we all know. God bless you Ron, all the best to you and yours.

Jack was my great-grandfather. Sydney Bell was Drydens brother. I did not personally know him but my nan Joan Fogerty was his niece and she told us he used to play football.

RADFORD, JOHN

Met John when he came to work for Allied Dunbar the FS company I was working for in 1992 in Borehamwood. I was dumbstruck that I was working on the same floor as he- albeit briefly. Talked to him about the goal he scored against Everton 72/73 at home. What a player!
