Richard (Dickie) Guy - went to West Greenwich (Central) Boys School early 60’s he was clearly destined to be a great goalkeeper even then. The school had house system Scott, Wolfe, Nelson and Clive. The hardest games were always against Wolfe were Dickie Guy was the keeper. He also played for the school team. Great times.

I remember watching Peter sayer playing for Cardiff City, he lived local at the time in Grangetown Cardiff. He used to have a TR7 car back then with his name all over it, i am sure it was Blue at the time, but he was a legend for the Bluebirds.

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?
