1) the 1953-55 winners of the British Under 21 title are correct as shown
above. They are shown incorrectly as 1955-1957 winners in recent
volumes of the BCF Yearbook (2001 onwards).
2) Note of Interest: David Rabinovich played off for the 1934 title with
Frank Parr. David Rabinovich later changed his name to David Raeburn.
