Couple of unrelated Town things nagging away in my head for a while now and wondered if anyone on here can help?
I have some memory that years ago there was talk of Brentford being a nursery club for Town. Seem to remember that it was some sort of informal-ish thing. No idea of the timescale on this.
Also seem to recall some guy playing for us, as a centre half l think, while he was still a student at the UEA in Norwich. Again, no idea of timescale or name or how many times he played.
Anyone from the older hive mind able to shed any light on these or is it time for a check-up with the doctors?
Thanks and COYB [Post edited 17 Dec 2024 17:52]

That was him. Many thanks. Seems he was studying Accountancy and went on to become a teacher (according to Wiki). | |

Wasn't Steve Palmer called something like that too, on account of having a degree from (I think) Cambridge? |  | | |
