Don't quite like that description, making him something like a Nazi SS. I like the other general description of MacKay more: swashbuckler.
Found newspaper of Greaves' debut hat-trick

Right on the centre line behind the N and O, where I always stood.

"Like a flash of black and white lightning, Greaves struck!" Awesome!
Also... Fulham lost... pah-hahahaha!
And that bloody Matthews, scoring again!! We should sign him! 100 bob and all the free Doombar and pie and mash he can eat!
Of course, Stanley Matthews had returned to Stoke a few months earlier. Also, Les Allen played that day and scored the other two goals. Greavesie pretty much ousted him from the team and he left for QPR in 1965 after struggling to keep a first team place, but we should never forget what a fine player and goalscorer he was and also that he produced Clive who was just a few months old back then.

Were you as much a flirt back then when we were both 13?
We were 16.

I was there and remember the game as I was so excited that I was going to see Greaves.
As for souveneers, I have the autographs of the push & run team from the early fifties, obtained for me at the time by my Dad. I was 5 back then.

To improve upon the 61 team was difficult but Greaves for Les Allen was an obvious one and spent like we were the wealthiest club in Britain back then.
Probably Baker and Dyson were players we could have improved upon as well. That's all.

I've never lied about it and it's in my profile.
Age is only a number. Even if it takes a while to count up to it.

Tell that to Terry after our ECWC triumph, he may have been vertically challenged but he always gave 100% and was a little dynamo. Peter was a fine all-round athlete and his partnership with Ron Henry was rock solid.
