    Our double winning right back Peter Baker has died aged 84.
    Was before my time so never saw him play but he'll always be remembered for his part in that fantastic team.
    RIP

    Hear, hear
    One thing I find strange - and to be honest I am never clear about formations in those days, but Maurice Norman says
    How does that work - there were 3 players in our 2? There were 2 behind the defenders?

    As far as I remember the 2-3-5 referred to the fact that there were two full backs, three half-backs and five forwards in a traditional team. But the centre-half used to play in between the full backs, marking the opposing centre forward, and the other half-backs and the two inside forwards were really defensive and attacking midfield so I think it was really 3-4-3

    Cliff Jones was on the left wing and used to cross beautiful balls for Bobby Smith to put them away. Arsenal had Johnny McCleod.
