If you think this is bad now, you should have been around then ffs.
St John was an arrogant twat who would have someone on trial for a week after they'd been spotted playing for their university team. He wouldn't see the lad play football, or cross a ball , tackle or shoot. He would have no way of seeing the lad's vision. And he would reject the lad because his touch wasn't great doing 1940s style training exercises using balls more similar to medicine balls than footballs. Dark days indeed.
