Best bit is a successful pole vault which describes the pole hitting “the pole bend cavity”.

I too was hoping that post would end with a link to that story. I fear it will never see the light of day and I will be forever disappointed.

Despite my soft and unfriendly southern origins, I have been known to spend time in the north.

Including, believe it or not, a rathy wacky sports day at Stanley Park.

So for those who preferred the sound of the story to the interview (and frankly, who didn’t?), the following photo album, from 25 March 1979 in Stanley Park, tells a slightly surreal story:

We ended up at the Blackpool Mecca that night…it’s not what you know…

These matches are a vital opportunity to get a look at youngsters like Bresnan, Roland-Jones and Malan.

Yeah, but not really relevant.

Although I did learn some etymology-related stuff, which is always good.
