Len Boyle is my Father. Sadly he passed away last weekend at the age of 84. He played for Alton Town from the age of 17 I believe which would have put his debut at around the1942/43 season.
I believe he may have been part of Alton Town's most successful team in the late 1940's, early 50's. He certainly spoke highly of his days there. He always told me he took the position of Jimmy Dickinson when Jimmy went off to play at Portsmouth - not sure if that is true or not.
Would you be able confirm to me when he was part of the Alton squad? If the information is available, I'd like to make reference to it in my funeral speech next Friday (31st). Additionally, if any photographs exist of the team during his time I love to buy some copies if its possible.
Thanks
Paul Boyle.
