Lew was my Dads cousin. Unfortunately I never saw him play but have many fond memories of when he was a coach especially under Lawrie McMenemy at Southampton in the early 80s when they had a tremendous team at the top end of Division 1. He even got us tickets for the Directors Box at Villa in 80/81. He has now retired.Updated: 27-01-25
In 1963 I Shared a house in Ashford Middx with a couple other lads, one of whose fiancée was the sister of John Sisson’s girl friend. John used to join us in a makeshift game of “foot-tennis” played over the washing line in the back garden. Being very competitive John fell over the rockery and badly twisted his ankle. As a 17 year old just breaking into the West Ham side he was too scared to to tell Ron Greenwood how he had injured himself, so said he had tripped on the kerb getting off the bus on the way to the ground.Updated: 27-01-25
