Hi Chris,
Not just a fan, but go back a long way to Middlesborough.
I was a sales Rep based in Hull selling Vegetable Oisl and Fat and supplied your Fathers Ice Cream business.
I did also see you in those days this would be about 1964/1966 The company was John L Seaton later taken over by Croda.
I can clearly remember where the business was in Boro.
Its funny but the other person I remember from those days was in Manchester again selling fats & oils to Bookbinders bakery in Cheatam Hill Road, and Mr Bookbinders daughter was Elkie Brooks.
Both yourself & Elkie Brooks have "The Voice"
Best Wishes
Arthur Wilkins
