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.

Tempted...only cost sixpence.

thats a 500%+ return on someones investment.

[leefer]

Well i wouldnt sell it,but it strikes me sixpence was alot for a prog in 1958....it was only a shilling to watch.

[flash]

thats a 500%+ return on someones investment.

Incorrect as pre decimal six pence converts to 2.5 decimal pence therefore the return is a handsome 2000%.
