Great pic - seen it somewhere before. Might be Richard Redden's history or maybe Dave Ramzan's book. Not sure.

Sharing the cake cutting duty is 'Gentleman Jim', never booked or sent off, many England caps and one of the one club and many appearances brigade. That hair .. he NEVER got it ruffled. Dickinson died at a very early age. My father knew him well and always told me what a very nice man he was.

Oggy Red

Dickinson died aged 57, after 3 heart attacks. Absolute legend at Portsmouth in his time.

You can see why they were called jerseys!

What a super photograph. Hamer may not like the shorts and top but is definitely modelling his hair on Sam.

But why were shorts called knickers?
