Removed from article

Just removed the following from the article. All unsourced, but probably useful:

Cullum, nicknamed the Mudlark was a prolific goalscorer in the Colts, Colchester A team and Colchester Reserves, always citing that his slim build as a centre forward and inside right in an aggressive game kept him from more first team games.

Newspaper cutting from the Essex County Standard states.. The year was 1948. Colchester United Colts had an outstanding season in the Ipswich & district League, and had they succeeded in completing their fixtures they would probably occupied second position. As it was they finished third - a highly creditable performance for such a young team.

In all matches including cup runs their record was:

Played 34, won 26, drawn 2, lost 6, goals for 173, against 48. Of this total, young centre forward Dick Cullum claimed a staggering 92 goals. Cullum captained the Reserves while still only 17.

November 1951: Five goals for Cullum

Because Colchester Reserves were without a match on Saturday, Dick Cullum, their centre forward, turned out for the A team. he had a field day, leading the side in dashing style, he scored five goals in a game Colchester won 8-1.

Also from the 1951 season: Dick Cullum is our brightest starlet

Hillman and Cullum were a delightful wind duo as Colchester UnIted drew 2-2 with West Ham A. Cullum’s recent form proves that his consideration for a first team place may come sooner rather than most of us anticipated. Young Dick has a racy style, and also possesses the vital qualities of accuracy and p[erseberance which have been sadly lacking in the first team just lately. What is more this lad can shoot hard and true!

As for the match, Moore scored Colchester’s first goal from the penalty after John Bond had punched the ball into the net and the West Ham right back deflected a Vic Keeble shot into his own goal after a glorious cross from Cullum.
