I had completely forgotten that former England front man Bob Latchford played 20 games for us in 1986 and netted 5 goals in 20 appearances. ( career 550 games/235 goals).
Presumably he was still living in the area because of his time at Swansea

Is Bob Latchford the only ex England centre forward to lead our line?

Harry Hampton,although he was before my time.
