1957 was a good year for me!
I was 15 years old and invited by Frank Broome (Acting Manager) through Ted Anthony(whose name some of you may recognize)
to join the youth set-up at Meadow Lane.
This I really enjoyed...living the dream, and training with my hero's...the first team on occasion.
I don't know what Ron Atkinson was doing at the Lane on this one specific day (he played for Oxford United) but I remember playing "head tennis,at the rear of the main stand with him.
Unfortunately (for me) Tommy came in to be manager later that year....and later still called us all in to tell us that the Youth Policy
was to be disbanded.....the end of my dreams,and the end of my chance to become Lawton's prodigy
