Ted Drake

Overdue a thread really given he is our joint 5th record goal scorer with 139.

I bet some people didn’t know this and obviously new threads are the only way for people to learn about our history.

Also played some cricket.

139 goals in 184 games. Phenomenal.

Also, is that a white away kit we’re wearing back in the 1930s?

Wow, I thought that was just a recent thing. I thought the one we have now and the one back in 08 were the only ones we’d had.

Not a patch Davor Suker tbf
