CyderInACan Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Was out for a run earlier and went past the Chandlers down by SS Great Britain/Baltic Wharf. Made me think of Ricky Chandler playing for the great Terry Cooper in our basement days. Two trades right there.

Steve Watts Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 On a serious note, there will be far too many to mention....considering many names are derived from trades. Smith, Turner etc... although spelled differently, Taylor was derived from Tailor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
