David Croucher 0 Posted February 28, 2004 I wonder why.... Who on Earth were they? I am sure I have a Southampton Programme from about 1947 with a Saints side that included amongst others Alf Bottoms, Roy Craighead, Bob Oakley and Dink Philpotts. I also recollect the name Bingley Creig (surname spelling may be inaccurate) being in a programme or photo I have somewhere. Sort of Phil Bishop era I think. I am wondering if it might be a photo of a 1932 ish Saints Team that beat Lea Bridge and included Frank Goulden. But then again Norman, I can't remember what I was doing last Tuesday, so I might be wrong, but I did think they were such cracking names. Crouch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norbold 7,114 Posted February 28, 2004 I am sure I have a Southampton Programme from about 1947 with a Saints side that included amongst others Alf Bottoms, Roy Craighead, Bob Oakley and Dink Philpotts. Couldn't find anyone by the name of Dink Philpotts in the 1947 Saints team, though there is someone by the name of Bert # Name Removed #, which, of course, is memorable for all the right reasons.

Thanks for that Norman . He's been gone 9 years now, and I still think about The Old Man pretty much every day. Nice to know other people still remember him with such fondness and respect.
