My first time at Wembley that and still my favorite. Made all the better as our local lad from Dovecot scored the winner. Derek Temple lived in a corpy house in Winstone Rd. In Dovecot, back in the days when footballers were just normal human beings who were good at footy. The local infants school was in the same road, and, there was a constant stream of youngsters waiting by his gate to get an autograph. No big time Charlie was Derek, he always stopped signed and had a laugh and a joke with us. A credit to his club, his family, his neighborhood , his city and himself
