"Peter McCall is going to pump (clap) YOU up!"
Of the handful of 1960/61 A&BC cards I've seen so far, this is the only one I recall which doesn't have the national team designation on it... It's just "BRISTOL CITY", not "BRISTOL CITY AND ENGLAND". Maybe that's why Peter McCall was pumping up.
"Ja, or maybe he's just a girly man!"
The Low Ceiling makes him look like a giant!
