"The Last Goal of a the Durham Wonderboy", by Steven Chaytor
A book about my father, Kenny Chaytor, his football career and fight with dementia. It is the story of local boy Kenny Chaytor’s football career with Oldham Athletic, but it also chronicles his dementia journey and the links between the two. He played in the 1950s before money took over the professional game and before anyone knew about the link between contact sports and neurodegenerative illness. Crucially, the book also talks about how he received support from the PFA through the recently formed Football Brain Heath Fund. Contrary to public perception, there is now support for stricken ex-players. The book is rich in anecdotes and tales and like life itself, is not without humour.
It’s available to buy or order wherever you get your books but importantly, you can get it at the excellent Back of Beyond Books in Sedgefield.
Thanks, Steven Chaytor
Information Requested by John Briggs
Hello, I'm an author from Darlington seeking some information. After a successful Warship Week National Savings campaign from the 14th to the 21st of March 1942, H.M. M.T.B.341 was adopted by the civil community of the Rural District of Sedgefield, Co. Durham, which included Cornforth, Fishburn and Trimdon. As part of the adoption ceremony the Admiralty presented the council with a shield shaped plaque containing the crest of M.T.B.341. In return the council presented the ship with a plaque to be fixed on board, this plaque would have been returned to the council when the boat was decommissioned at the end of the war.
I'm trying to find the whereabouts of those 2 plaques ,especially the Admiralty plaque, as it would have been on public display somewhere in the area. The current council don't seem to have it or know where it is. I've attached a pic of a similar plaque given to Hetton U.D.C. I wondered if any of your readers might have any information on the plaque or the warship week in general?
Thank you, John
