Fast bowler in my youth but soon discovered various distractions during my teenage years. Was nothing more than a slow trundler when I retired.

Re: Mabbsys moment in the sun
It seems there are some cricketers amongst us. At 15 I was offered a trial for Derbyshire youth. I was a fast bowler, but I got my nose broken in the nets ( and had a concussion and ended up in hospital)and it put me off playing cricket for a long time. Which is bizarre as a couple of years later I started to do boxing training but gave that up as I was too vain to get my face smashed to pieces.

It can’t be helped
There’s an ex Wednesday ( and Swindon) player Phil King he used to own a pub called the Dolphin. I wonder if he still owns it.
I had a very eventful night out in Swindon. It was the night before Sheff Wed beat Hartlepool in the 2005 league 1 play off final in Cardiff. The night before a coach load of us stayed in Swindon. All I will say is the night was memorable

Re: Mabbsys moment in the sun
I have very little recollection of what the boozer was like. After we went there some of us had a meal in a Chinese restaurant which I think wasn’t too far away. Then a few ended up in the middle of Swindon what I assume was the main drag of bars.Mabbsy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 9:41 pmGood effort fella yeah Kingy still has the Dolly ,HalloweenJack wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 8:23 pmIt can’t be helped

Lager or cider?
Or just favourite alcoholic drink?
