The Who's Who of Colchester United: The Layer Road Years 1937-2008

After 71 years at their homely, but ageing Layer Road Ground, Colchester United moved to a brand new 10,000, expandable to 18,000, seater stadium for the 2008–09 season. The Who’s Who of Colchester United celebrates the players who have played first-team football during those ‘Layer Road years’. The appearance and goal statistics for every player are listed, along with a career history and many previously unseen photographs. From 1930s goalkeeper Ronnie Dunn, who ‘bugled’ his teammates on to the pitch with The Post-Horn Gallop, to surprise wartime guest internationals and products of the present-day youth scheme who have progressed to the Premiership, they are all there. The Who’s Who of Colchester United is a must for all U’s fans and is a valuable resource for football followers and statisticians alike.
