Well if it was he was playing for Blackpool 5 years earlier born in Southport England international - I had heard of him never realised he was born not far away!
also coached the other lot!
 
That was some aerial picture ,of all the times we played at Blackpool never saw or noticed the slogan.Back in the days when you could jump the train at L,pool Exchange station and go Blackpool,Blackburn,Burnley brilliant away days,we always took a huge following. If we were lucky and had to change at Preston well it was into the Yates Wine Lodge before getting the last train home.

the firm is still going!

I was taken on Sunniways from London Road to two away games when I was a kid....and they crashed both times. The first one hadn't even got up Kenny then the second went down the bank of a slip road on the M6 going to Coventry. It was train after that. The other main away coach firm used to be Crown I think.

Crown Coaches!!!! That is a trip down memory lane. Remember vividly buying tickets for them from a travel agent in the Square Maghull for the first time. Sheff Utd away 1974-5 season. Drew 2–2. Iirc it picked up at the Alt then went towards places closer to the ground for further pick ups?
 
Yeah Sunniways,Crown and Home James were the main coaches. But getting to know so many lads that always did the away games and mostly stood around the same areas in the Street End we started to hire our own from Ribble out of Skelhorne Street Depot .,Punch and Judy on the corner of Skel and Lime Street for breakfast before we set off.....Memory Lane indeed
 
.....love that last picture of Ball with his dad, Alan Ball snr. Ball idolised his dad. I met him at Everton supporters club the night we won the league in 1970. Ball snr got his sons winners medal from his pocket and let me touch it which was a great thrill for a footy mad 13 year old.

If I remember rightly his dad was killed in a car crash whilst abroad.
I was at many of those games in 1970 beat out Revie's Leeds by a fair margin if I remember correctly. Sad about his Dad that.
