Hi wobbly, i did hear but unconfirmed about the medal situ 1966, will mail you direct as i havent before in case it was or wasn't correct.

Please help Wobbly if you can take a few mins, wobbly is a fab fella whom has been helping the exhibition project 'the club that wouldnt die', & hope to do a small section for his dad, Les Cocker, [as i keep telling people about him but in case u dont know], basically Les got his coaching badge paid by Stanley in the 50's, he then went on to assist coaching the 1966 England Squad, whom at that time the only people that got medals were the 11 on the pitch [not like nowadays], he & many others from the staff/team/management from that victorious footy moment are campaigning to also receive medals in recognition for their efforts as well as the 11 who got the originals in 66. Ramsey, Cocker & Shepherdson never got their medals & are fighting for them as deservedly so.

Please if you can help Les & others please follow post 1 for details, Les was a great STANLEY LEGEND & so in memory, he'll also feature as part of our Exhibition.

You can count on my support Wobbly
