Probably the only source of info in the 1940/50s for him would have been the Daily Express

No televised football, maybe some on the radio.

I only became aware of the 59 Cup run in the 90s - in the 4 years I attended City matches in the 70s I don't think it came up. At that point I knew much more about Southampton because I saw the local papers, mostly all I saw about Norwich was short match reports and occasionally MoTD.
