Thanks for this article.
My father is in the centre of this picture aged 10. My grandmother had this picture in a little frame
cut out from the local newspaper on the kitchen wall for many years!
In those days all the boys stood at the front so this could have been a real disaster.
My Dad never mentioned it until many years later when he brought it up at a home game in the
80’s v West ham when the crowd came onto the pitch due to the West Ham fans having purchased
forged tickets.
