Steve was a footballing friend of David Barlow's from his former club in London and along with fellow-player Johnny, was a witness at the wedding of David to Irma Ogden in December 1965. The two lads then formed a "guard of honour" on the steps of the Ridgeway Road Registry Office with four other players as the bride and groom came out, showering them with confetti contained in football boots!
David offered his regrets that they couldn't attend a reception with them as their match that day in Preston was imminent.
