Who is the best post-war locally born football player? We re asking readers to nominate their favourites as part of a campaign to celebrate the roll call of soccer talent witnessed over the past 75 years.
The first nomination came from Roy Scott, who helped with the start-up of Sunday soccer locally in 1958/59, now sponsored by the Herts Advertiser, who chose former St Albans City player Herbie Smith as his number one.
Herbie was born in Sleapshyde in 1939 but then found himself living in a boys home as his family was too large to cope. The home was in King Harry Lane, and he was there for 12 years before being moved to a similar home in Lemsford Road.

Every day, Brother Dennis Gibbs sits by a window in the living room of his monastery in the San Gabriel Valley and pens a letter or two to people behind bars.

Many have voiced worry about the coronavirus and “the tenuous feeling of how it’s being managed in the jails,” said Gibbs, 66. They’ve admitted that some aren’t reporting symptoms for fear of being put in isolation.
