I wrote to former footballers Graham Oakey and Colin Blant and got them both back signed today with a short note.
Graham Oakey made 88 league appearances for Coventry City.Graham was a product of Coventry's youth development system. He made his league debut in a home 2-2 draw against Manchester City in September 1974. His career was cut short by a knee injury sustained at Villa Park in December 1977
Colin Blant joined his first League club Burnley from Rossendale United in 1964 but had to wait over two years before making his first team debut. He made just over 50 appearances for the Turf Moor club before joining Portmouth in July 1970.After two years at Fratton Park he moved to Rochdale, a move he later regretted.Further spells at Darlington and Grimsby followed before his league career career ended with Workington in 1977.
