That is a slightly odd caption..... We played Bedford Town away in the 4th round game.
 

Newton was no more successful papering over the cracks in our post-Ball midfield.What a succession of mediocrities & neverweres we put in Bally's place.
He had glass knees by then, another Harry bought 3 or 4 yrs too late, on the strength of one or two good games against us...usually at Forest where we hardly ever won.
Hunt, Bernard, H. Newton all very good for their own clubs, but suffered the fate of being guilty of the crime that they weren't Ball or Harvey or Kendall...but who was...a bit like Denis Stevens and Bobby Collins

What price Tommy Jackson though, he did the biz.

Bobby Collins was a class act when he left he took Leeds from the bottom of the old Division 2 to the 1st division champions winning Footballer of the year in 1964/5 - putting in the format of a Leeds midfield that would dominate for years to come -Dennis Stevens a workhorse to replace Collins without the goals -you are right about the other three never made it newton was slow on the turn past it by the time he came to us - Mike Bernard put a shift in as the team had lost its quality- newton just never fitted in - Tommy Jackson a journeyman player from Ireland never let us down when bally was suspended a tough midfielder in a very good team ;)
