A few more replies back this week,must start sending out again!
Mike Stringfellow who played 14 seasons as a winger for Leicester City in the 1960s and 1970s.
He began his career at Mansfield Town whom he joined as a schoolboy in 1957 and scored 12 goals in 65 appearances for the Stags, before moving to Leicester City for £25,000 in January 1962 – the highest transfer fee ever paid for an 18-year-old at the time.
He was a member of the Leicester side that lost against Manchester United in the 1963 FA Cup Final, and scored one of the goals when the Foxes won the League Cup the following season with a 4–3 aggregate win against Stoke City.
In 1968, Stringfellow suffered a serious cartilage injury, and was never the same player. He remained on Leicester's books, mostly in a reserve role, until 1975 when he quit the professional game and finished his career with non-league Nuneaton Borough.Stringfellow played 377 games for Leicester and scored 98 goals

Next reply was from one of Brians heroes who I wrote to in May after Brian helped me out with some addresses.
Harry Hood played for Celtic, for whom he scored the winning goal in the final of the 1971 Scottish Cup, a 2-1 replay win over Rangers. He also scored the first goal in the 1974 Scottish Cup Final in a 3-0 victory over Dundee Utd. With Celtic, Hood won 5 Scottish League Championships, 3 Scottish Cups and 2 Scottish League Cups. He scored 123 goals in all competitions.He currently holds the distinction as having been the last Celtic player to score a hat-trick against Celtic's city rivals Rangers.
