Look at the size of Nigel Sims and how small Jimmy Dugdale was for a centre half. Thank you for posting that.
-
I did an article about this in the January issue. A great success, and one that should not be overlooked.
-
I've got the programmes for both legs. The first leg at Rotherham changes hands for hundreds.
-
It's a shame there doesn't appear to be any footage of this anywhere.
I can't help feeling that they'd have persuaded a camera crew to turn up at late notice if a London side had been involved!

Paid £222 for mine - the most I've ever paid for a programme.
-
Its a shame that the cup final got held over until the start of the 61/62 season, therefore Gerry Hitchens missed out on a medal as he left for Inter Milan in that summer. Although, it gave young Ralph Brown his only 1st team game.

What, in September? How queer.
-
Bloody hell. I have got one of those Millmoor programmes somewhere. If the mice have not eaten it.
-
I don't think Ralph Brown is on that team photo.Wasnt it the only game he played for the first team? Morris to the thread please!

Jimmy Dugdale was as I recall about 5ft 10" which was not particularly small.A good comparison would be the England captain Billy Wright who was 5ft 8".Both of them were top class centre halves in their era.

They were indeed. Model professionals.

I am having trouble identifying the player at the right end of the top row.Could he be the fabled Ralph Brown or is it Trevor Birch?
It's Ralph Brown.l found a picture of him when he was with Ilkeston Town!

Some of those prices are unreal. I have the programmes from both legs of the 1963 League Cup Final when we lost to....some other team.If I could get 150.00 for it I would sell today!
We were dreadful in both legs.

Ralph Brown is 75 now. How quickly time flies!

And somehow the older you get the faster it goes. I blame Einstein.

Its definitely Ralph Brown (sold Notts County towards to end of the 61/62 season).
However I just noticed that Dick Taylor isn't in the photo. Was he not at the club then?
Which leads me to the of who is the trainer next to Mercer? Is it Jimmy Easson or someone else as I don't know who it is.

You are right Morris.That is Jimmy Easson next to Joe Mercer.

Isn't it trainer Ray Shaw?
