Bryan Douglas :-).
I picked up this Stanley Paul first edition from 1960 of Ronnie Clayton's autobiograph "A Slave to Soccer" and sent it along to Ewood Park the home of Blackburn Rovers FC on the 14th of October for him to sign. Ronnie has kindly signed the book and inside between pages 16 and 17 are 2 signed index cards by himself and ex team mate and best friend Bryan Douglas, he has also got Bryan to sign the b/w photo on page 17. Very nice.
Ronald "Ronnie" Clayton (born 5 August 1934 in Preston) is an English former footballer who made nearly 600 appearances in the Football League playing for Blackburn Rovers. He was capped 35 times for England. Clayton, a right half, began his career with Blackburn Rovers. He made his first-team debut as a 16-year-old in the 1950–51 season, and between then and 1969 made 581 appearances for his only Football League club. He then became player-manager of Morecambe, and also appeared for Great Harwood Town before retiring
Bryan Douglas (born 27 May 1934, Blackburn) is a former English footballer. During his career, he played for Blackburn Rovers from 1954 to 1969, totalling 438 league appearances and 100 goals. He also earned 36 caps and scored 11 goals for England. He appeared in two World Cups, in 1958 and 1962, appearing in all of England's matches in the two tournaments.
Thank you very much Ronnie and Bryan, a very nice addition to my signed book collection..Cheers.
I'll have a go at the Drag and Drop tonight. Here's some links for now.
