    He played in that team, but can’t remember his name, wonder if it’s the same fella.
    Part of me, seems to remember him as a short, stocky, midfielder/winger (but this was in my Stella drinking days ) god knows what time we got out of there, it was pointless going to bed
    Don’t ask me how, but just asked the Mrs and she said his name was Jimmy Steele, just looked him up and she was spot on

    Well done to your Mrs, Jim Steele it was. I seem to remember him saying he'd worked a lot in the west country when we had a chat with him in the Romilly (this would have been about twenty years ago I'd guess) - he was a centreback, hard bastard as I remember it.

    His Wikipedia entry mentions the pub in Moreton In Marsh.
