The FA official later became a FIFA official.

 

Is this Sir Stanley Rous?

 

That's the who, now you need the why...

 

He’d been invited to a service at a building that was bombed. He didn’t attend as he had a previous invitation to address a Rotary Club.

 

That's it. During the war, he had been invited to a service at a chapel in London by his friend Ivan Cobbold (founder of Ipswich town), but turned down the invitation because he was due to speak to a Rotary Club meeting. The chapel was bombed and his friend was killed – he would have been sitting next to him at the time. He never turned down an invitation to speak to a Rotary Club meeting again.

Over to you.

 

Thanks, BB.

I’m going to hand over to whoever is first as I suddenly have a few very busy days coming up.

 

What is so noteworthy about this photo?

She was the first woman to report a football match for BBC's Sports Report. (Not the first female sports reporter - or the first female designated football reporter)

And she is... ? And it was when ... ?

 

May be wrong... was it Mary Raine?

 

VERY well done. February 1969 at Stamford Bridge. I had expected to have to provide more clues !
