They did, however, venture into the transfer market signing centre-forward Vic Watson from Kay's former club West Ham United.
Part of the reason that this consistency was possible, was due to Syd King signing players that went on to become West Ham legends and record holders, as well as England internationals, including Jimmy Ruffell, Ted Hufton & Vic Watson.
In June 2010 a plaque honouring Watson was unveiled in Girton.
