Part of their golden era of manager Harry Pots and chairman Bob Lord, many players came through their system not least Willy Morgan and Martin Dobson, there was the guy who had a worse hair cut than Bobby Charlton, can't be bothered to Google, and a centre forward of repute, Ray Pointer and a full back of the same calibre, Alec Elder. There are probably many more that I have forgotten about, and no doubt someone will enlighten me, but these players that I have mentioned are the ones that I have some old cig card pictures of, remember those cig cards? RIP Jimmy, another link with my past has now past away.
Jimmy Adamson was one from the same era (half-back). Later managed Burnley.
