It's in the BHAFC Miscellany, I got given a copy of it last week, it's fascinating. I was going to start posting a "fact of the day" from it, but thought it might piss people off....

Wow. This was indeed big news in 1972. It really has been doing the rounds for years and years, played in the sixties, whilst working at Butlins Saltdean.

Always expect an RIP thread when I see a celeb named in the title. Happily not in this case.

(un)interesting fact about Jimmy Tarbuck - he used to hide his bald patch with black polish, my source...I used to go out with his cousin.

I think it was a case of him being pretty young & on the books but then comedy career took off.
He did play for Albion in a friendly/testimonial in the early 70's as a celeb player, may even have scored.
BTW, Des O'Connor had a similar 'thing' with Northamptn.
