17 thanks Zico
No problem with the Trebor question : My dad's first job aged 14 (in 1930) was as lorry driver's mate for Trebor. His elder sister's husband was the driver. He had some off-putting stories about the returning class sweet jars. These jars were boiled in a large vat along with their contents of old sweets, old labels and dead vermin, wasps, mice, etc. The scum was ladelled off the top of the sugary brew and the remaining liquor was used in the manufacture of cough sweets. Trebor's factory was in Forest Gate and another Aunt and Uncle of mine had the factory's chimney at the bottom of their garden.

Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
Indeed you are correct East can't believe I didn't double check that one. If anyone else put John Lyall add a point to their score today. Both Lyall and Redknapp joined at 15 and played with Bobby.
Noticed in the past we had a North and South Quiz but no East or West, so here is the first.

Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
It's only 8, but it could be 9 if you check. I think you will find that John Lyall joined West Ham aged 15, and I know for certain that he played alongside Bobby Moore. My first game at the Boleyn was in 1956, when West Ham Colts beat Briggs Motors. Youth XI (13-1)! in a Cup match.
Centre half for West Ham was Bobby Moore and Left Back was John Lyall. Not that I knew who they were then or had a clue what they would move on to do, but I do have the programme from that night
