So has anyone seen, or better still got the 1949 book that Bill Lustcombe of the Herald Express must have worked on United Golden Jubilee Football Annual seems he was a founders of united as an amateur club.
It says the book is an excellent history of the clubs early days. Has Barton or Jon seen it, or ever heard of it before?

At number eight for Reading there's Maurice Edelston who oldies may remember as a radio commentator in the 1960s and 1970s. Seeing his name made me check - for what it's worth - his Wikipedia entry which indicates a sad decline at the end of his broadcasting career: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Edelston |
