    Sorry, if you see the rest of my posts in this article you'll see I've spoken complete nonsense throughout. This is just another example you've highlighted.

    Never knew one of them was from Hull. In the early1950s/1960s they were always guests on variety shows of the sort your parents liked and, in the days of 1 television in the house and 2 Channels you had no choice but to watch Unless you wanted to retreat to a freezing cold bedroom in those pre central heating days.

    Surprised no one has mentioned Alan Hardaker secretary to the football league for many years. One of the most powerful men in football of his time.

    I think with John Alderton being born in Lincolnshire was a bit of an accident and a symptom of being a war time baby. I am fairly sure when I was kid I heard a story that his mother Ivy was evacuated to Lincolnshire. For most people this would not be a problem but John was keen cricketer and in those days he would have been ineligible to play for the mighty Yorkshire. .
