Just for Fevvers .! A thread on John White ., as requested
I can remember standing in the corner , directly opposite where the players came out at the Park Lane end , watching the games through the hoops that formed the top of the perimeter wall . When we had a corner where I was standing, John White would be two foot away from me . I marvelled at his boots which resembled carpet slippers compared to the ones I played in . Mine really were boots ! We always gave him the “‘hello John “ and he would always look and smile .
Absolutely incredible player . I just couldn’t believe it when I heard the news . What a horrible day that was . I was playing Subuteo against my mate when his dad came in and told us .
