Fraudsters are usually very convincing, so would Norton Lea have sold the club if he'd known? I'd like to think not.

Rumoured he knew DB was a wrong un and would fail and then he could return on his white charger to thunderous acclaim!

East stand second class citizen.

Dreadfully unfair on Norton Lea. He was old-fashioned and tight but not a criminal. Sure, he sold to a chancer who turned out to be a crim but I was among those who wanted him to sell the club at the time.

Norton Lee was no idiot. He knowingly sold it to a conman, so he could come back riding a white horse, a couple of years later, buy back the club and be proclaimed as a hero. Something he tried, but failed, thanks to CFFS.
