Many thanks John
I note in Upton's David Wallace's initials were E. D. Do you
know what the E. stood for?

Edward. He was sometimes referred to as Ted Wallace but was
known by his middle name of David

Not forgetting that Dave Wallace was referee for the 1974 League
Cup Final between Wolves and Man City. He moved from Swindon
during season 1972/3, so presumably a railway man. Death should
presumably read 12/96 rather than 12/66.
