Flying winger Charlie Crickmore dies at 76
Charlie Crickmore, who was an ever-present in both League and Cup games in Notts 1970-71 promotion season from the Fourth Division (now League Two), has died in his native Hull after a long illness at the age of 76. Jimmy Sirrel had been appointed as the Notts manager in November, 1969 and waited until the following March before making his first foray into the transfer market. He then signed Crickmore £7,500 from Norwich City in order to add greater pace to the forward line.
