Another guess. Same player, who was signed from Arsenal for a substantial fee, where he was only an amateur?
No - another clue - the player in question had the same surname as a former Chancellor of the Exchequer - superhorns would see him as a hero!
Terrific rowdy - well done! Norman Lawson it was, signed in 1960 from Swansea (I see where you're coming from) at a "4-figure fee". He did not play any League games, only in the League Cup (first season of this competition) in 1960 and was let go in 1961! The equivalent maybe of signing a player for £500,000 today and not playing him. Or in Steven Berghuis's case paying a lot more (but at least he has played in the League)! Over to you!
I just knew it would have a Welsh connection! On a different subject, what is the connection between Adolf Hitler and Aldenham Bus Works?
The site was modified for use as an aircraft factory, producing Handley Page Halifax bombers as part of the London Aircraft Production consortium ??
I've got to give you that yorkie. But can you tell me what the Works was originally constructed for before it was either producing aircraft in the war or mending buses afterwards?
The site had originally been bought for the Northern line extension to Bushey Heath, as part of the 1930s New Works Programme. Construction of the railway extension was underway and the depot was partially complete at the outbreak of World War II.
