[Football] Archibald Leitch - The Man Who Built The Nations Football Stadiums







I'm not surprised Thames AFC failed if they were expecting spectators to watch from that distance behind the goal - it's far worse than the away section at Withdean!

Amazing how many of his stands are still in use today although he must of had a bad day at the office when he took on the Smellhurst main stand job.

Archibald Leech was Cary Grants real name. Not a lot of people know that.

Archibald Leach who was the biggest film star of the 1940's & 50's & one of the most renowned actors of all time. Akin to Hollywood royalty.

He was recommended to change his name and he did to

Cary Grant. No male actor has since had his chemistry with leading ladies. Watch and learn how to charm women by probably the greatest master of all. They don't make actors like him anymore. Uber cool.& sophisticated.

Nothing to do with this tread just couldn't resist the play on words..up the Albion.

Not many people know that when Cary moved to the States he couldn't initially get a job as an actor, so he joined a circus which is why he was so good at fooling around physically in some of his films. Like doing cartwheels etc
