Loved this - thanks Steven and David. Be interested to know if this was a bigger sliding doors moment than Baxter leaving in David’s eyes. Did we sign Colin Stein to replace him in the summer and how did they compare as players/ goal-scorers

Forrest's scoring record in 64-65 is all the more astonishing given that the team struggled badly finishing fifth in the league. If Lawrence was to blame for Forrest being jettisoned then Symon must take the blame for not playing Willoughby in the ECWC final. Alex Ferguson was really an inside left and it is certainly worth pondering if he could have linked up productively with Stein. The evidence of a few matches in 69 suggests he could have.
