| Bob 70-71 | July 2001Peter McConnell made this suggestion, Hey Bob! This is one of many great suggestions Peter sends in. There is now a Ray Crawford page, which includes the picture mentioned in Peter's mail. Steven Tallents chatted with me via email during the month Hi Bob, I love the website (thanks - Bob), I have only just found you and intend to spend many hours reflecting on past glories. I have been trying to trace Peter Storey, Arsenal, for ages. Do you know where he is working? I am trying to collect the autographs of every England player since the war. Arsenal FC have no idea where Peter is so any help would be invaluable. I have been in touch with over 600 ex-players and will send you some details later. Keep up the good work. Steven PS I have just started a website at Football 57 No I have to admit I'm not sure - a recent 'where are they now ?' of the double winning team in the Daily Mirror, said he is a driver in South London - I don't know any more than that I'm afraid. Any tales of your exploits would be VERY welcome, it would be great to know what some of the players from the 70-71 site are up to now. To this day I've only ever spoken to Eddie Gray, so I'm very jealous ! What a great project. Cheers Let us know more ! Bob Well Steven did write back, with loads of great information, which was so good, I've included on the 'Where are they now ?' page. Andrew Rowley asked Dear Bob The team that day was: Parkes, Stewart, Lampard, Bonds, Martin, Devonshire, Allen, Pearson, Cross, Brooking, Pike. So it looks like Ray Stewart is the missing man. Incidentally www.innotts.co.uk-~soccer-facup-finals.htm lists ever cup final player up to 1998-99 if you have a similar enquiry. Glenn asked Could you please tell me where I can purchase a 1970's long sleeved Leicester City shirt. Thank You Have you tried: http://www.toffs.com/ ? Their full catalouge has everything from Man U to Roy of the Rovers, so surely they've got Leicester City. ... yes they have I've just been and checked !! I hope it's what you're after. Henry Ballon wrote: Hello Bob, Hmmm if it is his name, I've
never heard of it before. I've been asking around, I'll
let you know if I find out. Keith Roberts asked another question I didn't know the answer to !!! Dear Bob, which two teams played the 1st F.A.Cup game played on astroturf ? Cheers, Keith Roberts. I didn't have a clue on this one, I'm afraid - anyone else know ? Joseph Smith continued the incredibly difficult questions with ... Hi Bob, could you please help. Im trying to find information on the great Bobby Moore, (West Ham, Fulham, and of course England.) I'm trying to find out who he played against to knotch up his 1,000th first class game, hope you can help or even direct me to a site that can. Thanks Bob much appreciated. I'd love to know the answer to that one, though ... N.B See August 2001 Emails John informed me that Bob superb site ! (Thanks- Bob) In case you're not aware: problems with fks pages for Everton & Crystal Palace. regards John If anyone else spots errors or broken links please do tell me, The site is so vast these days I lose track of all it's goings ons, I truely do appreciate it - as any of you who are webmasters will confirm. Lydia wrote Can you tell me
more about Alan Ball .......the Everton
footballer .....from the 70 s he was my hero and would
like to know where he is and what he does now Hi Lydia, thanks for writing http://www.soccer-files.com/playerprofiles/index.cfm?playerid=694 has a career profile. Peter Tidball and I had a brief chat ... Hi Bob. I wonder if you can help me in a quest of mine. As a very young lad I had a sticker album which I think was called soccer stars 1970.all I can remember about it was that there was a wolves player and a man utd player on the front cover and also on the back I seem to remember. It was the first sticker album I ever had and I remember it took me ages to collect the set. I also had the sticker album for the 1970 world cup which I remember that Revelino was the hardest one to get and I was the envy of all my pals when I got it to complete the book. Anyway, the albums have long since disappeared and I would love to see some of the stickers again as I can clearly remembera lot of them.do you know of a similar website where some of these stickers are featured or better still, where I might be able to get the original albums from? Oh how I wish I had looked after things when I was young. Hope you can help me out with this. Yes, I know how you feel ... My
whole website is based on the 1970-71 album, so I really
wish I'd kept everything in top condition ! I remember
the album you mention, I have this feeling the Wolves
player was Francis Munro, but this is based on memory,
not evidence !!! I collected the 1970 World Cup album,
too and I'm fairly certain I completed it. Peter replied ... Thanks very much for the info, I will check it out and see what I can find. Loved your website by the way (thanks ! - Bob). When you get a second have a look at the pic of Keith Weller cos I'm sure that shirt he's wearing has been painted onto the picture in some way. I seem to remember that this happened a lot in those days with the football stickers, maybe it was cos he'd just joined the club and all the printers had was a pic of him at his old club. I reckon the album I was refering to must have been the 69/70 one . Thanks again for the info and if I find out any more about it I will let you know what I dig up. I remember now looking at the pics on your site that I collected that one as well but not sure if I completed it. World of Soccer Stars 70-71 pictures Yes you're right
about the painted shirts. Keith Weller would have only
just joined from Millwall. Keith Newton on the Everton
page is another obvious one - no doubt his picture had
him in a Blackburn Rovers shirt, he'd not long since
moved. I can't imagine children putting up with that
nowadays ! Ian Beacham wrote Bob, Do you know when Charles Buchan's Football Monthly came to an end as a magazine ? Did it lose its Charles Buchan tag in the Seventies? Thanks, Ian Beacham Yes it did drop Charles Buchan's name and ran on way into the 80s as 'Football Monthly'. I have to admit though I'm not sure of the exact dates. I think it ended around 1973, but at this moment I don't have any more details than that. If anyone has more information I would really like to know to include it on the site. Barbara Coop wrote about her friend and namesake, Mick Coop Hi there: I was just wondering if you know the whereabouts of Mick Coop now? Do you have any photos you could e-mail us? Also, any info you have on him, such as when did he play and for what teams? We got to meet Mick about in 1980 or so when he came to the United States and was playing one summer on the Detroit (Michigan) Express team. When the Detorit team played the Houston (Texas) team, he got us tickets and we went to that game which was played in Houston's Astrodome. We got to meet Mick after the game and went to a club withhim. My husband's family was originally from England and we, too, have the last name of Coop. Mick had a son named James, and so do we! So any updates you can
give us on Mick would be appreciated. The last we
heard, he and his wife, Dottie, were living in Leamington
Spa. Looking forward to hearing from you. Also,
love your web site. Barbara and James Coop Paula Hacker wrote Hi bob, I have 3 books hardbacks, that may well be of interest to you, they are 1951/52, 1953/54, and 1955/56, Charles Buchan's Soccer Gift Books, I am interested to know if they are worth selling and what I would possibly get for them, thank you very much for your help. Paula Hacker. The Charles Buchan books are very popular with people. The ones you have are a little before my time even, but I love all old annuals. I must admit I'm not much of an expert when it come to the value of things. It will depend on the quality, of course, if the pages are tatty and/or have been written on they are worth much less than copies in mint condition. The problem is for collecting purposes, most people only pay good money for editions that are spotless, and these books were usually owned by children at some stage ! My advise is to look at the sort of money being paid for similar items at the auction sites, see http://ds.dial.pipex.com/bob.dunning/links.htm#commercial. Just type 'Charles Buchan' into the search engines. It's not often that books from the 50's come up so they may be worth a bit more than later editions, but I'm guessing that they'll only fetch 5-10 pounds. Also, dealers will want to give you less than the going rate so that they can make a profit, too. If you go to these sites, don't be confused by the Charles Buchan Monthly Magazine - they tend to be much rarer and hence are more valuable than the annuals, especially in good condition. Anyway, I hope that helps. Tracey Parker had a very unusual request Hello I've got 'World Cup Willie' by Lonnie Donegan on a cd called 'England's Glory', that I picked up in a charity shop. See http://www.cherryred.co.uk/football/englandsglory.htm. I sent a copy of the song to Tracey, but I don't yet know if her team won the competition ! Helen Keen wrote with arguably an even more unusual question ... Hi Bob! Well, once again, I haven't got a clue, but I was fascinated to know more about it. Helen sent some more information, which I could not resist including on July 2001's 'Where are they now?' page. Jim Maguire asked In English soccer, which team were promoted to the Nationwide League from the Conference at the conclusion of the 2000-2001 season? Well that would be Brian Talbot's Rushton and Diamonds - see I do know some 2000-2001 information, too ! See more July 2001 news at the following ...
