Dave Blower reaches the Pearly Gates and announces his presence to St. Peter, who looks him up in his Big Book. Upon reading the entry for Dave St. Peter invites him to pick up a silk robe and a golden staff and to proceed into Heaven.
A preacher is next in line behind Dave and has been watching these proceedings with interest. He announces himself to St. Peter. Upon scanning the preacher's entry in the Big Book, St. Peter furrows his brow and says, "Okay, we'll let you in, but take that cloth robe and wooden staff."
The preacher is astonished and replies, "But I am a man of the cloth. You gave that Blower a gold staff and a silk robe. Surely I rate higher than a Goldings boy
St. Peter responded matter-of-factly: "This is heaven and up here, we are interested in results. When you preached, people slept. When Blower drives his car people prayed.

Dave, I fully agree with you. Another fine player to come from the black country, Wednesbury to be exact, was Jack Burkitt who captained Nottngham Forest for many years including our 2-1 FA cup final win over Luton Town in 1959, and I was there. Forest still hold the record of being the only club to win the cup with 10 men after Roy Dwight was carried off with a broken leg and it was before Subs were invented and when footballers were men, unlike today.
I Left goldings in January 1959 and saw every Forest forest cup game including the 3rd round tie when they were 2-0 down at Tooting & Mitchum and earned a reply at home.
The highlight for me was beating Aston Villa 1-0 in the semi final and I never let Pin Head(bless him) forget it. As we all know, he followed Aston Villa.

I also have vivid memories of the Munich crash.I was working late that day at a drugs firm in Manchester when the news came through about six o'clock in the evening that uniteds plane had crashed and a number of people had been killed.I heard no other details until I reached home I was devastated when I heard the number of players that had been killed Like the rest of the mancunians on that fatal night.Roger Byrne's wife was living in Droysden,Manchester, close to where I lived and was married in the same Parish church where the bans were read out when I got married in 1956.the day after the crash she learnt that she was pregnant my wife Mavis was also pregnant at that time and they both gave birth to boys on the same day 7th of October 1958 but not in the same Manchester hospital.
Another coincidence happened a few years later in the early 70,s I took a extra job on at Belle Vue greyhound track as a supervisor on the tote and who should be working there as a tote operator none other but Roger Byrne's mother I was told that she had worked there since the track opened in 1926.
The first greyhound racetrack in the country and still going.
