Wrote to Colin Waldron and John Marsh last week to get some more cards signed.
John (Jackie) Marsh played for his local club Stoke City with the likes of Mike Pejic, Denis Smith and Alan Bloor. He was part of the Stoke team that beat Chelsea 2–1 in the 1972 League Cup Final. He made 355 appearances for Stoke scoring 2 goals between 1967 to 1979.
Colin Waldron spent thirteen seasons in the Football League and two in the North American Soccer League. He began his career with nearby Bury, making 20 appearances. He then joined Chelsea before the 1967-68 season. Nine games into the season, Burnley purchased his contract for £30,000. He made his Burnley debut on 28 October 1967 becoming a fixture at centre back and was named captain in his second season with the club. He ultimately played nine years and 308 games for Burnley before club turmoil in 1976 led the team to release the manager Jimmy Adamson and several players including Waldron. He then moved to Manchester United, for whom he made just three appearances before the Adamson-managed Sunderland purchased his contract. After two years with Sunderland, Waldron moved to the United States to play for the Tulsa Roughnecks. After spells with the Philadelphia Fury and Atlanta Chiefs, he moved back to England to play for Rochdale.

Another Burnley player. What I like to see 😄 I played against Colin a few years ago at 5 a side. Me and my mates must have been about 21 and some bloke was just passing it around for the opposition but we couldn't get it off him. Then I realised it was Colin Waldron
