Yes Dave, and anyone getting in the way of a shot would certainly be red . . . . and then black and blue.:laughing:

Pretty sure more than half the team was ginger at one stage back in the eighties.

Noticed at the end of that… The club promised to build a memorial in his honour… That was 2005.

If Strawberry Blonde counts then it has to be this lad.
