Title: 1958 and all that. Post by: leefer on Thursday, August 28, 2008, 21:51:00 I have a superb program for a testimonial match against a select all stars team...players include Stan Mathews,Danny Blanchflower and the player that catches my eye is Ray Barlow,born in pinehurst and playing for Garrards a factory team in Swindon he went to West Brom won an FA Cup winners medal and full England cap.Does anyone know of any other Swindon born player who has played for England at full level,excusing Fleming.For the record the Testimonial was for Bert Davies who played and was connected to Swindon Town for 40 years.The full all stars line up was
UPRICHARD..POMPEY EVANS..ARSENAL GARRETT..BLACKPOOL DICKENSON..POMPEY BARLOW..WESTBROM BLANCHFLOWER..SPURS MATTHEWS..BLACKPOOL BRADFORD..BRISTOL ROVERS MUDIE..BLACKPOOL HAGEN..SHEFF UTD HAVERTY..ARSENAL.

Incorrect as pre decimal six pence converts to 2.5 decimal pence therefore the return is a handsome 2000%. 8) Title: Re: 1958 and all that.
