    Forgot about this thread until new posting. Just seen the reference to monkey boots. Loved my pair. Wore them till they fell to bits. Happy days.

    Loved them too, used to get mine in Rye Lane market. Not good when you tread in dogs muck with them though!

    And worn at a rakish angle.
    When we used to go to football together (at another place) he always wore a fur hat. Kept it for years but it got thrown out unfortunately.

    Good memory. Can't remember where I bought mine but used to go to Brick Lane to buy stuff.

    The shoe shop in the village always had monkey boots in the window.

    I don't know if you know who those players are Henry, but I've spent a bit of time looking and I reckon it's as follows:

    B1 ?? B2 Bert Tann B3 Jack Shreeve B4 Sam Bartram B5 Henry Mordey B6 Don Welsh B7 Jimmy Trotter
    F1 Monty Wilkinson F2 George Robinson F3 George Tadman F4 Jimmy Seed F5 Les Boulter F6 Sailor Brown F7 John Oakes

    That being the case it's the same team that played away to Villa on 3rd December 1938. I haven't checked thoroughly, but it seems doubtful that we'd have fielded exactly the same XI on another date. That wasn't the team for the away game of the famous run of cup matches and Villa were a division below us for the two previous seasons. Assuming it is that game, this squad was famous for conceding what was at the time the fastest ever league goal; timed at 9.6 seconds.

    Boy do I know how to spend a Friday night!

    I’ve got the original plans for the proposed West Stand. My dad was given them back in the nineties, he knew the architects. They’ve been in a box in my house for nearly twenty years.

    They’re a bit battered but I’m fine to donate them to the museum. You’ll have to give them back in the very unlikely event that one of my brothers asks me for them because I suppose they’re not just mine to give, I’m not sure how I ended up with them after my dad died.

    I’ll try to post some of the other pictures up here.

    How do I get them to the museum?
