Max Crabtree in Preston, 1958. Not the sort of bill we would eventually expect from Max (Shirley had been on the previous week). In the early days he had a shortage of his own local talent and had to rely on George Kidd, Ken Joyce and Johnny Peters. If only things could have stayed this way.
I'm pleased to see Preston's Majestic Pride, Rajendra Singh, in the deep south working for Dale Martin. I enjoyed watching him for the opposition in 1960s Lancashire. Zebra Kid and Veidor would have attracted me. I'm pleased to see DM putting right their wrongs and spelling Veidor ei. Remember the saying, i before e, except when it's after Steve V.
