What a great Man, I have known him for over 50 years, worked with him at Gloucester Typesetters, and played real rugby alongside him at Old Cryptian’s RFC. He was inspirational to me taking up the game, it was always a pleasure to be in his company no matter what environment we were in.
He was well known for his audacious dummy that he sold to many a local rugby player and free of charge!
