2.45 kick off because according to Bert's memory Wednesday we're also at home and they kicked off at 3.15.

That was reckless scheduling. Everyone knows the Owls fans leave 30 minutes early! Could have caused chaos.

Is my memory tricking me or did we have an Eddie chant something along the lines of "Eddie Colquhoun, Eddie Colquhoun he's got spots all over his face"?

The only one I remember was, "Eddie Colquhon, Eddie Colquhon, Eddie" sang in A minor, with a reprise at the end.

Assume the Blade who picked the team was too young to have seen Needham play? Shimwell wasn't with us for long. He went to Blackpool and played in 3 FA Cup finals, the last one was the Stanley Mortensen/Matthews final
