Despite not being prolific he helped us out the 3rd division and a third place finish in division 2 the next season.

Only went to one match in the promotion season, Bournemouth. Was perilously perched half on, half off a crash barrier in the Witton End, all three goals went in at the Holte. Carradus didn’t play so wouldn’t have seen him. Apart from ‘Star Soccer’ I didn't see him play for ages. As I said, I was a nipper and all my heroes were goalscorers. Just didn’t take to FC, didn’t dislike him, he just wasn’t glamorous enough for a 7 yr old.

Crikey WCV we have singed some crap .

12 February 1972 over 48k rammed into the old ground
Macdougal for Bournemouth with a cracking diving header
Vowden equilises with a looping header for Villa
Lochead wins a header it goes up in the air but he reacts the quickest and catches it on the volley
2-1 to Villa
The noise was incredible the whole ground shook - magic
For those of you who want to either reminisce or those to young not to have been there check out the footage on you tube
Re; Bruce Ricoh he was a big favourite of mine
Bought by the Doc in 1969 for 100k a record deal for a 2nd division player/club
Played 154 games & scored 34 goals - just under 1 goal in 5 games not a bad return for a midfield player
Oh I’m getting emotional 😭
