VGC, sl marks and faded writing in trim edge - Tony, Rep of Ireland international signed from Gillingham in 1987 after 6 years there. He was born in Orpington and I met him once at a work-mates party, he was a nice chap, my mate lived there too, that was about 1984 and Tony was a Gills' regular then, I think they signed him for a few sets of tracksuits or something? Tha fact he played 88 times for the ROI suggested to me that the O was on the wrong end of his name - maybe it should have been O'Cascarin. He scored 42 goals in 105 league games for the Lions before his big-money move to Villa in 1989.
