Eddie is about 10 years older than JT.

 

Correction 9 years older, doubt they were on the same youth team.

The Shed end roof probably protected 25% of the end from the elements. Nothing like the North Bank Highbury, or the Liverpool Kop ( the latter kept everyone dry)

Clubs didn’t invest much in facilities pretty much up to the Premiership era, however think if we’d put decent roofs on the Shed, and the North terrace, our attendances would had improved. Attracted floating fans during sh*t weather, and existing fans who didn’t fancy spending the afternoon in the pissing rain. It’s not like building a new stand- only a modest steel frame with columns and rafters above, covered in crinkly tin.
