…Dave Hickson spoke so highly of JW Parker.

They complemented each on the field both scoring and making goals for each other especially in that 1964 promotion winning season.

That should have read 1954 promotion winning season!!

When Sandy scored in that Derby game I think he came on as a sub. with no number on the back of his shirt, I think it was Alan Ball’s first Derby game when he scored two early goals.

Spot on ....

And he missed a one-on-one absolute sitter away at Oxford with 10 minutes to go when the score was 0-0. Score that, win the game, and we win the title. We lost 1-0 with a late Oxford goal...

Wasn’t the story something to do with him having the wrong boots?

Also, while the title was still in our hands, the RS had been top after every round of games since the end of March, so that's not quite the same as leading all this time. Also, the previous weekend we were 2nd on goal difference, as we couldn't beat Forest, this meant we went into the Oxford game 2 points behind.

Also, for a while, West Ham could also claim to have it 'in their hands' as with their points deficit and games in hand (they had many) they could have been top. But games in hand aren't points. I think the real pity was the RS beating Chelsea as, if they had lost, our final game vs the Hammers would have been a league title decider.
