1950s

For those of you not around, we had a centre half, Keith Rutter, who played over 300 games- decent player in the then Third Division south.

He eventually moved to Colchester who at that time had a forward called Billy Stark.

A Colchester supporter wrote in to say that he had stopped taking his wife to games as................



She could not tell Stark from Rutter

I'm wondering if this quip has stood the test of time.... Does Stark even rhyme with Stork... I'm struggling to be honest..

Stark was raving mad by the way... and Bill Bailey phoned to say he aint coming home
