I can recall both his moves, to TMSTID for £40k which seemed to be a good fee for the time (future jailbird Dave Smith went hunwards in summer 66 for £45k), but when TMSTID nearly doubled their money to £72.5k when they sold him to Chelsea, I think the Green Final letters page was stappit with correspondence from Fuming of Fittie, Growling of Garthdee and Naeganback of Nellfield Place questioning directorial competence rather than alleging hooky practice.
Dave Smith, fae Aberdeen? Phit did go to jail for?

Remember D.G. Milne fae Northfield’s letters in the Greener?
