    Hi Grame, thanks for letting me know. I think you'll find that he went to KNG as well but 2 maybe 3 years ahead of you . I presume that he will have been their captain at the time too ; your predecessor ?? Will do, Look after yourself too in these difficult times. Bye

    Hi Graham, if you could kindly look at the photo I posted yesterday, thursday, 10.44pm Bognor 1968. Are you the player 3rd on the left bottom row because he's the lad I'm thinking about but your name doesn't ring any bells and I'm ( usually ) very good with names.

The player I'm thinking of is 3 left on the bottom row, FNQBrummi is 3 right top row and I'm 2 right top row, obviously better looking than 3 right but the less said about that the better. Re the 1969 photo , I was going to say that the only player I...
