Yes, I've been trying to remember its name. I think that was where John C lived at that time. |
He lived at a lovely place called Capel hall, which is just off the Trimley st Martin/ Kirton turn off. I used to deliver papers to his place, as well as Derek Jefferson & Frank Clarke (Allan Clarke's Brother) who both used to live in Kirton. |  | |  |

That's correct. Mr Patrick used to live at Glemham Hall (I think with Lady Blanche). |  | | |

You couldn't see it before the new stand was built, ciuldn't get Google Maps up to check....!
Isn't the famous photo of Sir Bob arriving on his first day him getting into a taxi? |
The floodlights might have been a bit of a giveaway. I guess you’d have to know what they were for though! | |

I was told who that was but I can't remember whether it was George Ley or someone else, would have been that sort of period, I think. |
Definitely George Ley - Bobby told me the story. | | | |

Definitely George Ley - Bobby told me the story. |
I thought it must be the same story, too similar. Funny George L should leave out the enquiry regarding his interest in donkeys! | | | |

I have heard a story very similar, which may or may not be this one, where JC asked something somewhat ribald regarding donkeys which made the player concerned blush and led to him not signing. |
That’s true as well. I could supply more detail but this is a family website. [Post edited 23 Dec 2020 0:00]

Think there was also a place at Kirton? Think I read that in ‘Time On The Grass’? Again, not Ipswich fringes, but maybe a 20 minute drive. |
Even were that the case, the roses in question could still have been at Glemham! |  |

Old Gatesy was so good, he used to carry a Barca player around with him when dribbling the ball. |
...and I never knew that Mick Mills sponsored his own shirt in the Uefa Cup final! | | | |

Definitely a character. Asked my grandad what he thought of his new manager in the pub, Grandad gave his opinion (which was positive and not in line with the common consensus). Mr Cobbold then introduced Grandad to Mr Robson. Different times indeed.
My uncle also spent time working for him. Not for long but long enough for at least one tale which I certainly won’t tell on here! |  | | |
