I remember my dad telling me about Alf Bond when I was a kid. I presumed he'd lost an arm in the war but it was actually in an industrial accident when he was in his teens.

Ruined at the end with that sign, think I've found something worse than "Can I Have your Shirt?"
I still wince at that clip of Bert going in for the save after the earlier incident where he did his neck.

He's on the visuals but not a single mention of the colossus who was the idol and role model for Vinnie, Stonesy, Ruben and Nathan!
