All right george, I was late for school at this time. Yes two brake vans, and a pidgeon van.

 

Some of the 'footballer' nameplates ended up on the bridge of Grimsby Trawlers named after football clubs and owned by Consolidated Fisheries.
What happened to them when the ships were scrapped in the late 80's early 90's I don't know.
From memory I believe two of the plates were Huddersfield Town and Nottingham Forest.
