The top prize in a series of random ad-hoc games? Though I will confess to not learning much about rugby games taking place before I was born
No, in a knockout cup. Wouldn’t have taken much to educate yourself.
They've still got the photos up at Moseley. Though I'm not convinced if Moseley and Coventry were doing that well it can have been that elite, which I shall have to mention to my neighbour who used to play in some of those Moseley sides, luckily whilst he likes banging on about it I rarely listen

That sounds about right in totality, save Moseley and Coventry were extremely strong in that era.

In fairness he rarely bangs on about it. I knew he knew Jan Webster back in the day, but it was quite a while before he mentioned it was because he used to play there too. And whilst he does like talking he's more likely to talk cars, bikes, gardening, wine, holidays, children and rugby in general than his own former playing days

So, he talks a lot about nothing and only occasionally about rugby but, either way, nobody really pays attention......any other similarities between the pair of you?

his career looked like it was really going somewhere and then it rather fizzled out to middle management nothingness, and he too ended up stuck in Birmingham despite not really wanting to be in Brum. he's also losing his hair, but he's a fair bit older and still has more hair. so no, not really
