THE CHINA MAIL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1956,
The Little Girl In Red Took It Slap On Her Fair Head & Laughed

Roy Shiner, Sheffield Wednesday centre-forward, missed three goals against Portsmouth. But the shot that worried him most was a real scorcher that flushed six yards wide, slap on to the fair head of a little girl in red.
Roy, aghast, immediately rushed to the barrier to see that the little girl was all right. So did Portsmouth's Tommy McGhee and Norman Uprichard.
