Bill Nicholson, Tottenham's Double-winning manager, had an irascible assistant, Eddie Baily. He had been a fine inside forward, good enough to play nine times for England and score five goals.
Baily was also what could, even then, be termed old-school. Nothing much impressed him. In later life he became a scout and a familiar presence on the London football scene.
The late Ray Harford used to do the most marvellous impression. 'Seen any players, Ed?' he'd say. And then screwing up his face in the manner of Alf Garnett, would slowly turn his head and transform into a scowling Baily for the reply.
