A Tale of Two Brothers

Thats strange Harry plays for Australia
John plays for Scotland!

Harry is quiet an imposing figure 6' 6". watched him play in a couple of his games for Australia in the worl cup qualifying. He can be very handy for a header during corners.

Reminds me of a couple of brothers Joe Baker and ??? Baker - off the top of my head born in the USA? One played for Scotland and one played for England. It's been a long time ago so this might not be gospel. But I am sure Joe Baker played for St. Mirren around 1958 - 61.

Hughie,

Gerard (Gerry) Baker was American born, and played for various teams, including St. Mirren and the U.S.A. His brother, Joseph (Joe) Baker, was born in Liverpool, and played for various teams including England.

Thanks, PT. Not too bad after 60 years.

Always remember this story about Joe Baker...

Baker, who played in Italy for Torino and in England for Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Sunderland, was a 19-year-old Hibs centre- forward when he won the first of his eight England caps in November 1959. He scored in a 2-1 win against Northern Ireland, though he almost didn't make it to Wembley. The taxi driver who picked him up from Heathrow airport became suspicious when he asked to be taken to the England team hotel and flagged down a passing police car. The debut boy had to produce his selection letter from the Football Association to verify his claim, made in a broad Scottish accent, that he was actually in the England team.


"I'll never forget the look on the policeman's face," the chuckling Baker said. "He just took off his helmet and said to the cab driver, `Good god, Fred. Are we that bad that we have to have Jocks playing for us?

Guy Fawkes failed
The CBI Confederation of British Industry represent 190,000 businesses and about 2 to 2.5 million people
And a lunatic addressees them
At least Peppa Pig can comb it's hair
