Slinky's welcome is a genuine TEF welcome, Droogie
It only seems like yesterday that I climbed the unsteady steps up to the Shrivenham Road stand and was in awe of the young Don. Regular crowds in the high teens then, magic
By the time I graduated to the TE as a teen in the early 70s, Little Joe was gone. Never knew that he was more popular than the Don...he did get his shorts dirty, tis true, but that wasn't difficult.

1968 for me...guess thats not too bad! And whilst Don was the master, Joe Butler was always a favourite of mine.
