All pre-season fixtures
When I was a lad my old dad said to me that the nearest thing we had ever had to an England International was Charlie Rutter who had one cap for England B. I’m not entirely sure what England B was but one cap he got.
The birdman of Cardiff Market, he had a stall upstairs selling budgies, canaries etc.
Remember him well, never seemed to fit in with us.
Think he partnered George Andrews up front, both of them having a 1 in 2 goal ratio. Although I was only 11 at the time I remember thinking that Terry Harkin was just not a good footballer.

George Andrews came from Lower Gornal Athletic in the same deal that brought Gary Bell to us from the same club. George looked like a teddy boy.

Sideburns, black slicked hair and a right hard looking so and so. A very good, combative centre forward who knew where the goal was. Also struck up a decent partnership with George Johnston.

Our strike partnership in our march to the League Cup semi final in 1965, unfortunately ending in a 5-1 home defeat and a 5-2 away defeat to West Ham who got beat by West Brom in the final.

I remember the 5-1 home defeat. Well and truly outclassed. I remember being very impressed with Johnny Sissons who no one could get anywhere near. I think Geoff Hurst got a couple that night.

In the 4th round, I remember us beating Reading 5-1. I vaguely recall our winger Bernard Lewis scoring, something he very rarely did for us.

I remember the name Bernard Lewis, I must have seen him play any number of times. I know we sold him to Watford but he is a winger who has left no impression on me. I can’t remember him playing at all.
Not good enough even to be memorable ?

charlie rutter :hehe:my old man always took me there to see charlie never knew who he was
was he a footballer ?
Was a very nice gentleman, a fullback but he did not play many games for us, he spent a lot of time injured and when he came back from injury Ron Stitfall was the fullback then, he was not a full international though only 1 England b cap
