Speaking of conkers. I still have one on a shoe lace circa 63. It's as hard as nails. It would probably make world champion these days
. Just one of the momento's I brought with me. You people are so delightful to my eyes reading about the things you remember. The good old days before telly. The whole of Accrington and beyond was our playing area and by god didn't we have fun despite the injuries and setbacks. Lovely era.
