    Alf Wood was a big signing at the time, £75k from Millwall, think it was John Kaye who signed him. The story doing the rounds at the time was that Kaye wanted Frank Stapleton who was bubbling under the radar at Arsenal but settled for Wood instead. He came with a good reputation too as a goal scorer. Scored plenty for Shrewsbury and Millwall. Helped no doubt at Millwall from the wing by Gordon Hill who went onto to sign for Man Utd. Allegedly signed to play alongside Ken Wagstaff but it never really happened. Waggy was at the end of his playing career and the two hardly got on the same team sheet as each other, so we will never know.
    Remember him having a stinker at Doncaster in the League Cup in front of one of Donnys biggest crowds for years. He did score our only goal in a 2-1 defeat but the old memory tells me he missed half a dozen easier ones. We really should have hammered Donny that night and progressed to the League Cup quarter finals for the first time in our history. Donny did and lost 7-1 at Spurs.
    Decent player for us non the less and sad news that he has passed away.

    That's about right - we needed Gordon Hill, otherwise he was starved of the crosses he thrived on.

    I remember that night at Donny even though I missed the start like many others. It seemed like they'd lowered the crossbar for the goal we were kicking into.It was uncanny how his headers kept going over by a couple of inches. Then we got Alan Warboys.

    RIP Norman Hunter

    Recall his on the field scrap with Francis Lee.
    A right ding-dong. Ironically, they were room mates on England tours and apparently decent mates.
