Dixie Dean leaping like a salmon to head the ball - height/staure wise he was in the Wayne Rooney mold when he was young a complete athelete -

Should be a prize to whoever can name this smokin' goalie. I'll throw John Osborne in as a possible candidate. It's certainly something he would do lol

Checked an old team photo of WBA. I have a few hundred of those old large typhoo tea cards at hand. Easily checked through. It's John Osborne of WBA.
Although I confess that I knew that anyway. Mind reading an article about him smoking in one of those football magazines many moons back....
Was also surprised that Billy Bremner also smoked. Although not on a football pitch like Osborne...........The stupid things that stick in your head as a youngster.....

 

[The Trinity.]

Someone was eulogising about Styles on TV the other day and referred to Charlton Law and Best as the holy trinity

Remember reading one time that WHU also revered to their three world cup winners as the trinity. All great players. But for us there is only one trinity. Holy or not. No need to name them.

Oh for a midfield like them in our team today.......alas if they were available now a very rich club would snaffle them away ........

The Pocket Dynamo former midfield dynamo Bobby Collins V the other lot in the 1965 cup final which Leeds lost gets stuck in to ? Looks a nasty tackle the other lot won 2-1 -

The Blues fans raved about Royston Vernon so fast over 12 yards with his combination with the GV they were a deadly duo in the 1963 Championship team - also if Royston had not been a chain smoker as great as he was he could have been at the very top of the players he list in this article photo - here he is in his famous trait of scoring taking the ball around a keeper to slot in famous for it -

Jimmy Settle a fine footballer who gave us great service for a 34000 transfer -
