Some of you may remember that in the 1980s at a shareholder meeting a teenager told Tommy Cannon that he didn't own any shares in his own name and therefore couldn't sell off Spotland to line his own pockets (I think I have the story right). This almost certainly saved the club from oblivion. Anyway, I did not realise until yesterday that this teenager, Edward Lord, had gone into public life until I saw this article in the Telegraph about FA discrimination policies (about two-thirds of the way down):

To think I got Tommy Cannon to sign my programme once (could even have been this one):

So neither he or his wife actually owned the club they had a few shares in her name and he managed to get himself the chairman's role.

Thanks for all the replies ðŸ‘
