Monday 8th Sept 1947. Back row; Young, Machent, Smith, Latham, Cox, Forbes. Front row; Thompson, Brook, Rickett, Hagan, Collindridge.

Missed seeing at least five of this team as this was my first season at the Lane but unfortunately only reserves and probably only a handful of games. I say unfortunately because I would have loved to have see Alex Forbes and also Eddie Shinwell, what a strong left side, two excellent players who went on to better things. International status and FAC winners and losers medals, although Forbes won five caps whilst at the Lane.
 
Affirmative, like the Lone Ranger SB, riding in with honesty and truth.;)
Beer or Beers? I've seen both but am not sure which it is. Should have listened to mi grandad properly.
SB, you may know already but I've discovered that 'Beers' in reference to W(Billy)J Beer was a kind of nick name that even infiltrated the higher echelons of the FA. They seemed just as inadequate then as, I believe, they are now. Reference the 1899 FA Cup Final programme.
Note the advert. top right Ellimen's Embrocation or rub as I knew it. A well known commodity in footballing circles, I'm sure, to the senior members on here. The smell, close your eyes, imagine your 21 again, in the dressing room pulling on your boots, bet you remember it now.1899 FACF Programme (2).jpg
 
At least. The Russians are probably involved too.
That's their want, or at least their leaders want, morose lot. Sure our new postman is one. Post arriving after 1330 for years, now it's bloody 1030, no later, thrown us all out of kilter.

Kops Ale and Stout advert on the left is interesting, never knew non alcoholic beer existed back then, sasperella excepted. There's a joke somewhere XM with the Derby black knickers and the forward called Bloomer
