There are many players who have now passed away. Can we pick a team ? Les Sealey in Goal, Jim Holton centre half, Ernie Machin midfield, Ernie Hunt striker, Brian Hil full back. I have named a few, could name more, but who would you name ?

That's the trouble. There must be loads of players who have passed away way before my time.

I would have to guess at Clarrie Bourton too, simply based on the amount of goals he scored.

We have had plenty of players over the years who have been so inactive during games that our fans could have assumed they were dead....

I think we should only include players from the Sky Blue era ?

That’s good to hear, he is part of my Sky Blue history. Graham Oakley was the 1st RB that I can recall, followed by ‘Scoop!’ and then the fantastic Danny Thomas. There may have been others but the memory isn’t as good as it used to be.

Huh?

We are saying that Graham Oakley is still alive, but Graham Oakey is dead?

I'm guessing it must have come a bit of a shock to Coop!
