This got me checking through the getty images library....I found this one particularly interesting with half the East Terrace as late as 1936. Bartram himself helped to build up the terrace to its later height (pictures in his book). Ah nostalgia is not what.... http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/3424648/Hulton-Archive
Central heating ? ...... Love the vintage electric fire in the corner.
You can imagine Big Sam Bartram saying:
"It was so bloddy cold int' treatment room, we only had a single bar of electric heater".
Other team's player:
"Right. You were lucky you 'ave single bar of electric fire .... we don't even 'ave proper treatment room 'ere oop North.
We just 'ave rusty corrugated iron shed with no roof, and to keep warm we're made to stand on our 'eads with 'ands cupped round flame of a candle."
"And you try telling the players at Arsenal. And they won't bloddy believe you ...."
[cite]Posted By: SoundAsa£[/cite]It's not Sam Bartram I know that much....they all used to wear those polo neck style training sweaters around that time Addickted.
[cite]Posted By: Oggy Red[/cite]Is that a fact .....were you a youth team player at The Valley in 1939, SoundAs ....?
;o)
No Oggy....but being the fashion icon that I am I've noticed in a number of old training pictures(mostly taken at The Valley) that they often wore polo neck style tops....don't really know why I have that imprinted in the old memory banks, maybe because 'in me yoof' I wore them from time to time.
Anyway you can see them wearing these tops quite a bit in pictures from the 30's and 40's....you'll also see soldiers and servicemen wearing them in war time film footage etc.
The photo was taken on 1 March 1939, the same day that an explosion took place at the ammunition dump of the Japanese Imperial Army in Hirakata. This was also the day Juan Leovigildo Brouwer Mezquida, the Cuban composer and guitarist was born.
The photographer, HF Davis was known for an iconic piece of work, taken around 1934, depicting a man holding an umbrella and crossing the flooded Mall in central London by using two wrought iron and wooden park chairs. Flooded Mall as well as an image of people skating in New York, taken in 1933 and this early image of a Chelsea training session, demonstrating what to do when dribbling past a defender in the penalty area.

It's definitely not Sam Bartram. Polo-neck aside, the clue is in the face ... ie it doesn't look like Sam.
My dad tells me they were also very fashionable in the early 60s - and also with Mods on their Lambrettas a little later........ Some of us are still in that 'time warp 'I am afraid......
Comments
I think the player is George Tadman.
Edit - Beat me to it Phil - the 'patient' is wearing a goalkeepers jersey.

I of course already knew all that!

My money is on Harold Phipps.
