    Have you thought of dropping Scott Minto a line on Paul Bacon? Sure that group of players must have some contact?

    John Arnold earned a living as a Marty Feldman impersonator after he finished playing.

    It is a fact that Little Johnny Harrison physically nutmegged ex-England centre half Larry Lloyd in a game against Coventry at The Valley (i.e. he ran the ball and then himself through the legs of the big defender). Even Lloyd laughed at that one...

    Anybody got any info as to the later exploits or present whereabouts of any of these four. Paul Bacon, John Harrison, John Arnold or Alan Hart, please ?

    Who knew Ashley Maynard-Brewer's surname began with an L?

    Sorry, I can't help.  All I can do is muddy some waters a little bit on John Harrison. Cameron (1991) claims that he was born in New Eltham, whilst Hugman (1998) claims he was born in Stepney.

    Thanks Stig. Stepney seems to be right.
