Martyn Jones: ‘I live in Oswestry, Shropshire where you were born and would love to get a plaque put up in the house where you lived or maybe a street named after you.’ I’ve no idea of the street or the house. It was just before WWII and very chaotic. My mother came from Wellington, Freda, Mary (Potts) Patterson; my Dad was Scottish, but for some reason I always thought he played for Oswestry F.C. The story goes that he had a trial for Man U, but broke a leg before he could try out.’ [Ian was born at 6 York Street, Oswestry -Trudi]
