Funnily enough MM I read only a few weeks ago of an Arsenal match in the 50s that was delayed because an outside right in the visiting side had the wrong number on his back for that position. I’d never previously known that such a rule had existed. The same article referred to an experiment on a radio broadcast, also from Arsenal, where the pitch was divided into a series of grids, printed in the Radio Times for guidance. The clipped voice of the match commentator would then say ‘Jenkins in G7 has passed to Robinson in H4, who is is dribbling into J7’. Interesting times.At the very beginning of the 1960-61 season the two teams lined up to kick-off. But before he would signal the start the referee strode across to the home dugout and gave someone an ear bashing. On his way back he spoke to Peter Anderson who had lined up on the left. Peter started to walk to the other side and at the same time Bill Wright, who had lined up on the right, started to come the other way. I saw it happen but thought no more of it. Then, in 2008 I started some deep research into that era. I came across a piece in a Sunday Independent which referred to the referee's actions prior to kick-off on the opening day. It reported that the referee had told our manager, Jack Rowley, that our number 7 (Anderson) and our 11 (Wright) had not lined up in their correct positions. Rowley tried to explain it was a tactical thing but Mr Kingston would have none of it. It was a trick Argyle tried very often in games but obviously only after they had kicked-off.
