Ah! Sixties memories....the half-time
Herald Express seller would yell 'Snow in New'n Abbit'. I can see - and hear - him now. I think (Codgers please correct me) that he was small and wore a flat cap.
Yep - you're still compus mentis, Wivel. He was known as 'Snip' Cornish - don't know why Snip.
I didn't remember Reg Jenkins not being liked by some fans - I thought he was a great player and was sorry to see him leave. Another player during that golden period was Brian Handley. I think that he more or less lost his place when Stubbsy arrived on the scene. I don't think he played many games with Robin Stubbs in the side, but I remember one game when Stubbs, Handley, Jenkins AND Tommy Northcott were in the team, and maybe Peter Anderson on the wing, and we were untouchable.

Well tomo reckons he was and is rarely wrong!
I remember him well and his 'Snow in Newton Abbot' shouts even on hot August early season games! Barking!
