I recently rediscovered my 1973 cup final programme (lockdown tidying) On the day I met several of the 1937 team who signed the prog. However one signature I can't make out except first name Arthur. There was no Arthur in the final team. Any ideas of club players at the time called Arthur ? Tried online, no joy as yet
Thanks

Re: Help wanted
Sunderland has had 4 players who have Arthur as their first name:
Arthur Bridgett - 1902-1912
Arthur Hawes - 1921-1927
Arthur Andrews - 1921-1931
Arthur Hudgell - 1947-1957
We have had no managers named Arthur so maybe it was part of the backroom staff or a gatecrasher.
Any other info?

Re: Help wanted
Thanks for the replies, I reckon the gatecrasher theory is probably right, a mate of one of the players. Still, pleased to have got what I did.

Re: Help wanted
How many signatures did you get and if you have the time can you say who actually signed the programme.
Re: Help wanted
Plenty of time ! Bobby Gurney, Len Dunns,Charlie Thomson,Johnny Mapson,Alex Hall.
Also on the programme, because I happened to meet them, Derek Dougan, Jack Charlton, and Johann Cruyff
