Hi Mate, There seems to be a few names I recognise on that list. Obvious ones being Stanley Matthews, Tommy Lawton as the England greats they were. Joe Mercer was England manager, Len Shackleton I recognise, George Hardwick, Raich Carter but I have never heard of the LCFC player Frank Soo. I would of course after I have read this, pass it on as well. Cheers Jim AKA Gudjonsonn
