1954-55 Youth Friendlies
From TheChels.info - The Chelsea Football Club Wiki
In addition to the sole friendly, the Chelsea Youth team went to the continent in April to play in the ADO Youth Tournament, playing four short games (20 minutes each way) including beating Arsenal in the Final.
According to the programme, the following players were picked to travel to Holland – Brian Abrey, Les Allen, Peter Brabrook, John Compton, Colin Court, Roy Cunningham, Cliff Huxford, Bob Laverick, Owen Medlock, Tony Nicholas, Boyd Nisbet, Brian Pickett, Barry Sluman, Alan Hetherington and Roy Fergey (or Terry Stacey). However, it appears that Peter Brabrook did not travel, Terry Stacey replacing him.
