Always be remembered for “that foul” |  |

Brilliantly effective, no nonsense, old school centre back though. A man monster of a defender who had a decent touch too. Another of those legendary players of my youth. Sad to see he's gone. |  | | |

One of the few to cross the Arse Spuds divide. Which I place as somewhere around Stamford Hill. As Sharpediver succinctly puts it he was a lot more than just that foul. RIP Willie Young. |  | | |

My best estimation of the aforementioned divide, calculated as the mid-point between the centre circles of the two stadiums in question (and strictly as the crow flies) is the bridge where the Suffragette Line crosses Hermitage Road. I clearly have a full and interesting life (RIP Willie, too, to stay on-topic). | | | |

Respect to the pedanticism here. I once, very approximately by use of an old paperback London A-Z, calculated the (tr)equidistant point between the Rs, Fulham and the other lot as being around the tapering end of Brook Green. | | | |

couldn't miss him, 6ft 3 and ginger to boot. he was a solid defender who gave 100% . | | | |

Yes,that professional foul will always be remembered, but he was a very good centre half too.
RIP Willie Young. | | | |

Was always solid in the Great Panini Football Games of Brian's Bedroom Floor.
RIP. |  |

With due respect to and acknowledgement of your initial work here, Danny, and having consulted my old Knowledge of London map, I would place your (tr)equidistant point between the three grounds in question slightly further south on the other side of the A4 in the middle of Margravine Cemetery (close to the Hungarian Reformed Church in London to add further clarification). I’ll spare you the method I used to reach this conclusion but I’ve no doubt Willie would be proud to have inspired such important research. | | | |

You'd be the go to authority on the glass half full question I take it? | |

Reciprocal respectifications on your further work on the triangulation issue. I’m now using the scientific method of simply staring at Google Maps. Margarine Gardens (as I like to call it) is a nice spot but seems to veer too South in favour of Fulham. I propose a new contender for the point of trequidistance. St Paul’s Gardens on the Hammersmith Road - the site of the old St.Paul’s school where the Normandy D-Day Landings were planned.
Btw: a mate sent me an obituary of Willie Young this morning. From the typeface looks like the Times. It’s an amazing read. What a character. | | | |

Ironically just finished a book about the Normandy landings and St. Paul's was also, one of Monty's old school. If I'm not mistaken, its also the alma mater of our very own Field Marshall. |  |

Which puts me in mind of an immortal line uttered by Kirk Sutherland, Coronation Street’s resident ‘daft as a brush’ character. Having been served a pint of Newton & Ridley’s best bitter in the Rover’s Return, Kirk said, “I’m an optimist, me. Far as I’m concerned that glass is half full”. | | | |
