Joe Hayes

[A Blue]

My first hero. Although my memories are fading now didn't he also score a goal (Allah, pun intended, Colin bell at Derby )with his bum ,in a game against the rags.
Others I remember fondly... Alf Grey, Johnny Crossan, Sammy Sambrook,TC.

think you mean matt gray & ray sambrook ;)

Yep, told you my memory was going.....MATT Gray..........But I beg to differ on Ray Sambrook.......My old feller always called him Sammy and it stuck.
Not forgetting George ANNORR either.

Hi , really freaked out by this , we regularly go in a cafe in Eltham High Street where we see a little old man who appears quite friendly and smiles . Today he sat on the table next to us and started chatting we thought he was just lonely, he then hits us with your son likes football doesnt he? who does he support we told him Arsenal ( sorry ) and he came back with I used to play for Man city i asked him his name and he said Joe Hayes and then proceeds to tell his life story about his days in Man city , he dropped in that his 2 fa cup medals are up for auction at Sotherbys for £395,000 !!!He did also drop into the convo that on the internet it says his dead but thats a mistake it was his wife that died , but he chose to let people believe that ! and he told us he was born on the 17th of march 1926 and is 84 (this doesnt tally either )then how he has 11 children , 26 grandchildren and 36 great grandchildren and that he lives in Footscray on a £900 football pension and his next door neighbour is Kenny Sansom !!! and that next time he sees him he will get my son a signed football programme . Also told us about how he helps his neighbours with money hand outs of thousands of pounds . We started to feel uncomfortable and made or excuses and left and camae on internet to research Joe Hayes and found this SCAREY

Bloody hell. The poor fella probably needs help.

It seems he knows that few Londoners (and for that matter even Mancunians) would know what he looked like and that Joe is dead. So it's a believable story. One of the people conned claimed he had a Bolton or Burnley accent (she said they sound the same!), so maybe he is from that area and knows that Joe had that type of accent (he did have a strong accent).

Sorry, but a Burnley accent is VERY distinctive and is completely different from a Bolton one, it is even different to a Rossendale one, five miles away.

For example, when saying "goodbye" they nearly all say:-

"See yer layter"...............

By the same token a Stalybridge one is different to a Hyde one.

Alf Grey: anyone remember Alf Wood, centre half from the early 60's?

I know a few former City players who visited him in hospital shortly before he died and they also went to his funeral. This guy is obviously either in need of serious support healthwise or is a gifted conman.

It will all be very distressing for Joe's family if they ever hear what this guy's saying.

The key issue all along is that MCFC, the former players, the PFA etc. would all find a way to support a former footballer. Whenever this guy is told by someone to contact City he makes an excuse; whenever somebody says they will contact the club this guy never reappears.

Anyone who sees him should contact the police or other authorities because it's actually quite worrying.
