A big thanks to Tony Onslow for this article. Hope Robertson was my maternal grandfather and I have a photo taken with him in 1934 which makes his death in 1927 a mistake.

The last time I saw him was in 1947 when he met my future wife. He died shortly after.

Also his son Hope was their 6th child. My Mum was born in 1900. I have a lot of stuff about his career but this article stitched it all together.

I realised a childhood dream in signing for Everton in 1948. A cartilage injury finished my future with the Blues when Mr Cliff Britain cancelled my registration.
