I heard that he was in dock Ian. Sorry to hear he's dead, a good man and a fine snooker player.

Re: OBITUARIES
See THIS Obituary for Ennio Morricone: Oscar-winning Italian film composer who has died aged 91. Good age, I liked his music especially (but not exclusively) his connections with spaghetti westerns.

Re: OBITUARIES
Just heard the news Ian. 773 playing appearances for Leeds United. Doubtful if anyone will ever beat that.

Re: OBITUARIES
In the 60s he lived a few doors down from some friends of ours in Leeds, just an ordinary semi on an ordinary suburban street. A different world.
Re: OBITUARIES
A lot of them did Wendy, even though their earnings were relatively high most did not seek or play at the world of fame like now. Except perhaps George Best.

Re: OBITUARIES
Footballers in those days were capped at £20 a week, Bob Lord the Burnley football chairman was instrumental in getting it removed. It's been 55 years since Football League clubs abolished the £20 maximum wage cap.
Re: OBITUARIES
55 years, that would be 1965. I remember the year we married, 1971, we were at Harry Potts seniors house in Burnley, visiting, and he and my Dad and I think Harry junior was there too, were discussing the pay of one of their players as £40 per week and how high it was. In those days I earned £10 per week as a Medical Laboratory technician at the bacteriology lab of Withington Hospital in S Manchester. We had just had a pay rise to bring us in line with nurses!

In 1953 I was doing a farming apprenticeship on £1 a week, all found. (And I had to put 10/- a week in the POSB.)
