I remember his face but his name escapes me, the player in the centre?

Obviously Keegan and Francis

It's Gordon Hill, Man U winger. Number 11, decent

Back in the day half the kids in Wigston could be seen in the latest England shirt before it was unveiled.

 

 

So true.  We used to call into the office on the way home from school and scrounge freebies, usually posters of players and the kit designs.  Even managed to get a Wales shirt for the price of a Mars bar although it remained unworn in my kit drawer.

I think it's a very young Dave Watson. Defender who played for the likes of Man City & Southampton from memory. But I could be wrong!

It's Gordon Hill who played wing for Man Utd isn't it? This from a Wales international supporter

Thought it was very good. Showed a bit of the comradery of factory life and that business doesn't have to be uber-serious. Everyone used to listen to simon bates our tune at 11.00. Shame it all had to end with basically johny foreigner nicking all our ideas and improving on them.

Spot on. Though Simon Bates our tune was awful & got worse as the years went on.

My mum used to hand the work out to the girls for a while. Always moaning about the rates and amount of work etc. Probably looking back in a nostalgic way, but my Mum didn't really like it with all the moaning going on.
