graham paddon what a left foot he had quality player
Saw Paddon make his debut for us, it was his cross that lead to the only goal of the match giving us a much needed win, if the old memory serves me it was against City. A gifted and really good player, sadly missed.

I think even into the 50s we'd play Christmas Day/Boxing Day - often home/away double headers against the same team.

Apparently we only signed 1 player for that season, Phil Woosnam. He scored that day too.

We were unbeaten in our last 10 Christmas Day games ! :scarfer:
