MAN WHO CHANGED HIS MIND

Alee Block, who changed his mind about staying as Arsenal's assistant manager, arrives home. Then came the questions.

He's The King Of Charlton Athletic

..

By ARCHIE QUICK

38

For 22 years Jimmy Seed has reigned supreme manager of Charlton Athletic. In that time he has raised them from a Third Division side to the First Division, won for them the FA Cup, sold players for thousands of pounds without ever dipping into the Charlton exchequer to purchase players himself. The financial balance on the credit side during those two decades is as staggering as the playing success.

THE YEAR

NOW ALEC STOCK GOES

BACK TO THE ORIENT

Alec Stock, for 53 days assistant manager of Arsenal,

has resigned his job nt Highbury and taken over again the direction of Loyton Orient's promotion drive.

Mr Stock, 88, took his decision after a dramatie lunch-time appeal to return to the club by the Orient Chairman, Mr Harry Zussman.

Green home:

""1

have

Said Stock at his Woodford been very happy with the Arsenal.. The job turned out exactly, as I thought it would. But you can get very fond of a club, and I am very fond of Leyton Orient."

Stock did a normal morning's work at Highbury, during which he discussed with Arsenal manager Tom Whittaker the team to play at Burnley. The question of Orient's approach to Arsenal for Stock's release, raised by Mr Whittaker, was left over, by. mutual agreement, until recently.

At 1.30 Stock met Mr Zussman in his Shoreditch warehouse. Half an hour later the jubliant Orient chairman telephoned Orlent cerotary Arthur Huggett and sadd "TELL. THE BOYS ALEC IS BACK WITH US."

Mr Whittaker was still steg- gered by Stock's decision, itta Fomewhat bitter COM- ment was: "I am completely flabbergasted. It is so bewilder- Ing-and just when things were going all right."
