They've still got the photos up at Moseley.

That sounds about right in totality, save Moseley and Coventry were extremely strong in that era.Digby wrote:They've still got the photos up at Moseley.

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 daysBanquo wrote:That sounds about right in totality.Digby wrote:They've still got the photos up at Moseley.

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?Digby wrote:In fairness he rarely bangs on about it.

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 reallyMellsblue wrote: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?Digby wrote:In fairness he rarely bangs on about it.
