I guess that ‘GRA’ at the left of the sign means Greyhound Racing Association? I don’t think there are any Dog Tracks left in London now. From memory: Walthamstow, Harringay, White City, Catford, Wimbledon and Romford. Anyone recall any others? Some of the dogs would out sprint our players, although Flash Walker (in his day) might have given them a run for their money.

I think there was one in Hendon on the site of what now is the Brent Cross shopping centre.

League Cup 1960-1961.

Some names there that I had forgotten - we signed Bobby Evans towards the end of his distinguished career for Celtic and Scotland. We signed Johnny Brooks from Tottenham in the deal that too Les Allen to Spurs, and Sylvan Anderson came from Reading and was quite a decent player. I don’t remember much about Charlie Livesley and I have previously mentioned Reg Matthews on this forum - the man who made other goalies look sane!
