Love the photo of George Hardwick and co. in that it shows how we used to tie our bootlaces up in the 'old days'. I'd forgotten. ED. Thick shinpads and socks too
BrilliantSome you know, some maybe you don't.

It's also got a bit of the old Gazette 'Spot the ball' feel about it, although in this case it's 'Spot the penny". Ah, the good old days when they really tossed the penny, none of this flicking it up a few feet. George looks like he's wondering if it's ever coming back down.The Hardwick photo is brilliant. You can't always tell a book by it's cover of course but maybe you could with Hardwick, just looks a class act doesn't he? Effortless cool, bit of Errol Flynn about him.

Could lay partial claim to cooper and ripley too , who both played for england with other clubs.
