Roy Sproson - I think he’s Vale’s equivalent of our Kitch
Arthur Longbottom - Decent player for QPR and eventually joined us but didn’t last long.
Ray and Pat Brady not bad players but we missed out on their brother Liam

Might have been sharing the same surname but my old man said the Brady brothers were both good players more so Pat i seem to recall,
Anyone on here see them play,appreciate your thoughts.

Seen them play with Reg Davies in goal and Pat Terry and Peter Burridge up front very scary
for any team to come to the Den
Both were good players, Ray probably the better.
A fellow golf club member knew Pat well. Apparently he was a teacher near Tunbridge Wells and died quite recently.
For some reason, I can remember Pat charging fully 15 yards back at the Ilderton Road end towards his own goal line, after our goalie had gone down at the feet of a Walsall striker, and clearing the ball off the line
. Don’t know why, it’s always stuck in my mind

Ray Brady originally joined Millwall as a full-back, but was converted into a very successful centre-half, a bit like Colin Cooper had been. Ray went on to play for his country, the Rep. of Ireland. Pat came to the club following a trial period around Christmas 1958. Ray was dominant in the air a formed the backbone of the team in the early 1960s. Reg Davies in goal, Ray at centre-half and Pat Terry at centre-forward. Mess with them at your peril. Pat was gifted and possessed a cultured left-foot, a trait younger sibling, Liam would inherit.
Ray and Pat were chalk and cheese, Ray a combative type and Pat more reserved in his manna. I think is was against York City at home, a City player fouled or took a liberty with Pat, over went Ray to give the miscreant a 'dig'. A perfect example of the younger brother looking out for the older one, instead of the other way round. Ray became a publican and Pat a teacher/lecturer.

Love reading your "Memoirs" of wall games in times gone by Obes.
Just a couple of years before my first game that one I think.
When you get time post some more please.
Des Anderson used to train us at school. Nice bloke.

Those Spotter's love a late goal beating. Oxford scored their winner on 85 minutes today...The Samaritans are hoping their switchboard goes down over the bank holiday weekend.
It's looking decent at the moment, chaps:
