                               John Newman's Innovations for Plymouth Argyle

      I watched Johnny Newman score from Wilf Carter's tap pass in 1960 (Plymouth 3 Aston Villa 5 in epic League cup replay). Then in 1964 I watched Mike Trebilcock score from John Newman's tap pass (Plymouth 3 Man City 2). Steve Rhodes and John Eales think that Newman may have learnt the trick from Peter Doherty in testimonial matches.
