some tales suggest that Clegg turned up 20 minutes late for the game. He was working late on a case (the trial of Charlie Peace, the Banner Cross murderer) and unable to leave Sheffield for London on the Friday night. The next morning, the southbound train with Clegg on it, was delayed by heavy snow. - There are no newspaper reports to confirm this - and if it was true, why didn't the reserve play?
