Who's that with Shrewsbury Town legend Arthur Rowley? Why, it's only Miss World. This picture dates from April 23, 1965, and the original caption explained: "Waiting for the beauty parade is 'Miss World' Ann Sidney and Shrewsbury Town Football Club manager Mr Arthur Rowley, who were at Whitchurch Town Hall to pick the winner of the Whitchurch and District Amateur Football League Queen competition. The winner was 'Miss St Martins.'"
