I used to play football with my mates near there when I was a kid. We'd all then dive into the cafe for food afterwards. That was the 80s.

Widdowson had left for York before the photo was taken. We signed Graeme Crawford from East Stirling not long after the photo was taken. Crawford played two first team games for us, his first was the 1-0 home win against Norwich in Sept 1969 and his second was the 5-1 win at Pompey in Sept 1970

I bought a silver snuff box from the same era to do it justice.
