This a peice about Stanley's demise in '62 with team photo from that era and bit of a bio on each individual. Apart from what you already know, it says that Willie Devine and Peter Irving moved to Australia. In Feb 62 I saw Stanley play a friday nighter in Aldershot and as an 18yo kid was admitted to the dressing room to get the prog autographed. Remember hearing talk about the players having been given a fiver in the paypacket with no promise of when shortfall would be paid. At that point was asked to wait outside dressing room door for remaining sigs to be added to my prog. A few weeks later, brokenhearted like many of us and not a fan of Bob Lord if stories held water.
