At opposite ends of their respective careers as well; one of those little things that makes me love football so much (even if football is being a total arse at the moment).

Love the story about Tommy that 0n Xmas Day 1940 he played for Everton in the morning and then volunteered to play for Tranmere in the afternoon.! Two games in a day and on Xmas Day. !
History does not record what his missus said to him when he got home.

I have seen photos of the event, brave or stupid folk on the stand roof, but then again they had just gone through six year of a World War.
What a generation they and their parents were.

John Hope

John Hope

Yes!!!
But, he did become a bit of a comedian, hence 'Bob', in a detrimental footballing sense.
Bob Hope a cinematographic comedian, pre and post WW2. 1903-2003.
