Cec McCormack signed for us on this day in 1950...

for £8,000. It was a complex transfer as we had to negotiate with Middlesbrough (his parent club) and Chelmsford, where he was loaned. We'd apparently tried to sign him the previous season but he didn't want to move permanently and went to Chelmsford instead. As a result, Chelmsford had to agree to end the loan after which we completed the transfer. Quite unusual in those days apparently.

What a piece of business it turned out to be - Cec would score 33 league goals (+1 in the FAC) in 37 games the following season - still a club record.

Did anyone on here watch him that season?
