John H Haynes OBE, the creator of the Haynes Manual
If Yeovil hang on for next season then a trip to Haynes Museum at Sparkford could be a fitting tribute... https://www.haynesmotormuseum.com/

I live 20 miles from there and used to live 5 miles from there yet I still have never been there, when there is something interesting near to your abode you often overlook it.

Gordon Banks played against us once, for Chesterfield in 1959. I wonder if those who were at the CG that day thought that the young keeper would one day be a WC winner.
A shame as well that a fair few of the WC winning team, for whatever reasons, had to sell their medals.
RIP.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

I only saw him play once, in charity game for at the County Ground in 1982 a game he played with a certain George Best, Don Rogers, Mick Channon, Mike Sumerbee, John Francombe, Ian Botham and Viv Richards. Even with one eye and being in his mid 40s he still made a few excellent saves when he came on.

I saw Ball, Moore and Peters play against us and Banks in a charity game. But being only 4 months old when they won the world cup obviously they were all in their final season or 2 of playing.
