Bobby Charlton realised some years after that the ones sitting with their back to the front of the plane are the ones who survived.

Dennis Violet - wonderful player for Stoke. He used to come down the tunnel with a fag in his mouth and stub it out on the pitch side!

That was Roy Vernon on the fags, it was rumoured he was paid in Embassy coupons

Remember queuing up outside the ground to get Denis's autograph, what a great player he was.

You will find both these players on Wikipedia. BTW, Viollet is the correct spelling! See my thread further down this board.

Always amazing to realise just what greats have graced the Vic in the past. You never know, maybe just maybe this era will bring a few modern day or future ones to the Brit!

Violett has a road named after him, near to the Brit.
