Fish Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Top bloke. Played with him at Perranwell....strong, quick and knew where the back of the net was. Someone you would want in the trenches next to you. Alf and Asterix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reesy Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 As already stated, a top bloke. Bags of pace, defended from the front and played for the team. He also scored bags of goals. Defenders certainly didn’t enjoy playing against him. He would of put you in your place Ralph 😂 Asterix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely improved! Asterix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
