good stuff Dave, that's very interesting about him going to Bogota, I've actually been there myself and it's a wonderful city in a very beautiful country, but anyone who knows anything about latin america would tell you that 1950's was not a very good time at all to head to Colombia

"La Violencia" I believe they call it.

Fair enough Pat, maybe that's why they came back, but to be honest I think it was more about the reality was not as good
as the promises made regarding wages etc.

I think around that time the Colombian league was one of the richest in the world but at one point the money dried up and all the foreign players left or got kicked out. I forget the exact details. Futbol Mundial did a feature on it. Will try to dig it out on Youtube later.

Yes, Joey, Sandy was a good signing for us, gave his all in every game he played for us, including the one against
Leeds United, when he got sent off very early in the game, and as you say scored some goals as well, one against
Liverpool when he came on as a sub, playing upfront with no number on his shirt.

Dario just looked at my EFC match bible the the complete records on games, and Sandy scored v the reds in season 1966/67 on the 27th of August SAT - we won 3-1 at home Alan Ball got two Sandy Brown got the third.
Fans only remember his classic diving header own goal and that was a beauty;)
