Trying To Find Out How Many Games Mick Bates Played For Leeds in 1972 - Stage 1

The telephone rang - an old friend said he'd pop round for some tea
With a dog eared Rothman's Year book from 1973
As we sat munching custard creams he said "put in a bid"
And after much hard bargaining, I gave him twenty quid.

(Tim Bradford, 1995)
