I think he was the ex-player who submitted a design in the Evening Post competition that led to the world-famous tree badge.

A guy called David Lewis designed the badge.

Ah yes, I know David won the competition but the club received multiple entries (of the top of my head it was more than 50), one of which was from a former player, who, without going off and checking, I’m pretty sure sure was Wally Ardron.

Ah, I read your previous post as Wally's entry led to the new badge, not that he entered the competition that led to the new badge.

It is an undeniable Law: when there are 2 girls together, one is always a good looker... the other less so.
In my youth why was it I generally copped off with the less so.

Me too, and that's the other undeniable law. She was usually dirtier.

As I used to console myself, "Nobody loves a fat girl, but a fat girl knows how to love".
Before I get hounded by the feminists on here, them were different times, and I was driven by hormones.
It’s a great picture, but surly in that area of the pitch - i.e. miles from the goalmouth - that’s at least a Yellow Card for deliberate handball?

But that's the difference between a vitamin and a hormone... you'll never hear a vitamin.
