[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Asa I'm only couple of years after you and cannot dispute your assertion. In my time you weren't very good. Or Perhaps i mis remember. Don't recall playing Marple

School and college level team performance can swing hugely as waves of players leave at the same time.
When I joined the UCH Sharks (Hull) in 1990 they had about 5 returning players.
Thanks to the huge influx of green 'talent' we went from 3 consecutive championships and a near miss the next year, to complete and utter gash.
Steep learning curve, but enjoyable.

No worries.
Our team and the one above were both unbeatable.
We usually only played grammar schools unless we had cup games.
Xavarian, thornleigh, Bollton, blackburn .Manchester grammar etc.
Can't remember Marple, I will dig out my Old Baeda.
We had training , coaching and went to games in a track suit so we must have been good-)

Nick the rag is at the wheel now. I wonder if he parks in the managers car park, or will he follow Ole's lead and use another space out of respect?

I heard he puts his towel down the night before.

I heard he puts his towel down the night before.

And doesn't queue for the buffet, instead pushes in at the front. Pisses Luke Shaw off really bad

Any blues able to confirm some rag history?

There's a story that they went to Rome to see the pope and his holiness told them to go away as he didn't know who they were.
