    To use an appropriate phrase...I think that's gone over the heads of just about everybody. :)

    Colin Swift was a full-back in the late 50s/early 60s. He was part of the Short, Sharp and Swift trio of our defence.

    Yeah. Before my time. I started going i the mid sixties. I think my Dad knew Colin Swift and Gordon Pallister in some capacity but there can't be many of us on here now that remember those names. :)

    Gordon Pallister was before my time, but I know he was a very accomplished full-back. After he finished playing, he opened a very small "temperance bar" in Regent Street South. I remember going there as a little lad with my mum to have a glass of ginger beer etc.
