'tis true. That particular season we played Sheffield Utd on Monday 30th March 1959 and the return fixture on Tuesday 31st March 1959. A double header!

Must have been a lot of people throwing sickies then judging by the gates they were getting.

According to the file name it points towards 4/4/59 and the shirts tally with Ipswich.

Thorne scored 10 that season, but only played 15 games.

It was the previous season (57/58) that Thorne scored 5 - last game of the season vs Watford. Interestingly, he did not play a huge amount of football in three and a half seasons. Was he a sicknote?

Career stats for the Albion: Played 84 Scored 44

I seem to remember there was a piece about him in the latest programme, but can't find it at the moment.

Although a goalscorer , he wasn't guaranteed a place in the first team and in those days only 1 sub was allowed. Moved on to Plymouth Argyle. Nice to know that he was a local lad from the Brighton area.

A lot of games kicked off at 6pm so it was still relatively light when the match finished.

No subs allowed until 1967.

Against Corinthian Casuals at Stanford Bridge in an FA Cup Replay. 1923, I think.

Shows just how f***ed up the internet is , you can put anything in a caption and it will be taken as gospel.

Which is why, over the next few years and beyond, nobody is gonna know fook all, like grammer un stuff.

School work is/will be just, who's the best copy and paster.
