Notts County v Tilbury
Notts County 4 Tilbury 0 Anyone remember this match ? I don’t as I was only 1 month old. But most of my family and hundreds of locals made their way to Nottingham to see this epic match. The famous Tommy Lawton was playing for Notts County.

My Grandfather Malcolm Lawson played in this match! He caught the eye of Nottingham Forest from this match and was offered a pro contract but turned it down because we already had a job that was better paid and stayed at Tilbury. How times have changed!
