The idea of a Blue Plaque on 9 Witton Road is excellent. I wonder if the people that live there now realise the significance of that address?I often bump into Mike Whitby in my local and next time I see him I'll bring the subject up.

Although he did say that Blue Plaques were down to The Birmingham Civic Society.However he took notes and he said he would email me after he had contacted them. Just to add that he said that if it came down to cost, even in these hard times a few spare quid could be squeezed out of the councils coffers to help with the cost of the plaque.
Is there a chance there might be something about his descendants in the club archives?
