Just reading Fall of the House of FIFA

Some nice words about Sir Stanley Rous who preceded Havelange as President of FIFA. Despite living in Suffolk he used to cycle all the way to the Nest to see his beloved Norwich City play.

He also fashioned a rear stand on his bike so he could carry a mate along with him. Unsure why there's a stand named after him at Watford though.
