Just out of interest, learnt today that my stepson and his family live in a house once owned by Lincoln City and it was occupied by Roy Chapman, his wife and their boy Lee. Sure a few on here will remember him.
Billy Cobb debut hat-trick?Remember him getting a couple in the 8-1 drubbing of Luton, Bruce Rioch scored for Luton.
Must have been Scorer St. as I remember reading a Lee Chapman quote about having been born at Scorer St.
Billy Cobb did indeed score a hat-trick in this game, including an overhead kick, the first goal of this type scored by anyone at Sincil Bank.Billy Cobb debut hat-trick?
Where was the Roy Chapman house?
I think the club had some houses in Scorer St. In 1957, Harry Troops was at No.5 and Jimmy Munro at No.11.
Roy Finch at 19 Coleby St
Doug Graham at 72 Brant Td
I have it on good authority ( by a neighbour) that the house was down Gregg Hall Crescent. Obviously not where Lee was born but probably moved there when he was a bit older.
I'm pretty sure Bill Anderson lived on Scorer Street too. I wonder when all those houses were sold off? I don't think we own any today.
That has to be him, I would think. I wonder how many the club owned? I know several of the adjacent streets were built on the site of John O'Gaunts; perhaps the club invested in some of the new builds at that point?There was a Wm Anderson living at 132 Scorer St in 1957 (one of the posher houses with a front "yard").
Didn't Graham Taylor live on Matlock Drive in Hykeham? Was that also a club house?
Also, if Lee Chapman was born on Scorer Street, it kind of begs the question - which street was Drewe Broughton born on?

Think the club also used to have a house on Acacia Avenue off Brant Road. Often used to see Glen Cockerill, Dave Carr and Tony Cunningham going to and from the Redwood Drive shops as we went by on the school bus.
