Whos this lucky little lad? 1966 homecoming -
966-FA Cup Trophy outside St George's Hall - I remember my late mother sewing me that blue stripe on ordinary my white football shorts felt ace at school ....

If I'm right his demise started when he was seriously injured trying to exact retribution on Big Billy Whitehurst who had just seen Reid having to leave the field of play after a tackle. Whitehurst was one of those players who's skill was based purely on physical power.
I was at that game,boxing day I'm sure,brutal challenge by whitehurst,brace went off in the game I think,but carried on for the rest of the season on injections,had numerous ops missing most of the next two seasons,came back but by then wasn't the same player unfortunately.
