Many thanks Timbo another wonderful programme you have shared with us, I never knew Roberts grandfather was at the club in 1948 and had the same idea to move the club beside the train station ;D

Fascinating stuff about the need for a larger and more accessible ground.
Plus ça change!
I think Tor Valley North was bandied about up until the 60s, wasn't it?

Fascinating stuff about the need for a larger and more accessible ground. And, in light of our discussion about the Dell elsewhere, there's talk in that programme of Southampton's possible move to a 60,000 capacity ground near the city's railway station. Also news of Tommy Northcott playing for England Youth and Phil Joslin's success at Cardiff. Joslin, a keeper from Kingsteignton, was mentioned in Herbert Lees' letter in Tuesday's paper. He was one of Torquay's great discoveries and an example of a player whose career was blighted by the war (he was twenty-three in September 1939 and didn't get his big move to Cardiff until he was past thirty). Joslin was one of two South Devon goalkeepers of the post-war era who enjoyed success at a higher level, the other being Peter Wakeham from Kingsbridge who left Plainmoor for Sunderland before later playing Charlton and Lincoln. |
