Is that John Croston's elbow, on Freddies left, or did he retire first?

No, that was Peter Fahey, I cropped the pic to bring the subject closer. John Croston had retired by then.I have a pic somewhere with John Croston on it, I'll try and find it.

Fred, John Walsh has asked me to let you know that he hopes you are 'bang i'fettle', AND is there any chance of an empty tram sometime this week?

Tell John that the tram will be no problem, but if he wants any notes signed, he'll have to go and see Frank Reid himself, as we have no money left for this week, according to Trevor!!

I think that's me behind John Rogers
