Compo in first picture that white van really could have been my Ford Thames that I bought in 1964,often parked around there,might have been in 'Penguin café,just to the rear of it,or more likely in 'Marsdens' to the front...........

One of my sons is a dead ringer for Shane Warne,........anyway he went to Goa on holiday last year and was mobbed wherever he went the Indians being cricket mad,..............he went along with it in the end,even signing autographs,..........and he hates cricket.

You know your cricket Stu,..........again agree completly ref, Bob Taylor and Alan Knott......

Thats a brilliant selection,forgot about Barry Richards until a friend of mine mentioned him yesterday,great player.............as regards Botham Lizzie,certainly made his mark,but think he was lucky with his bowling,and tried to be too flash with the Bat,read alot of biography's and was'nt very well liked by many other players, However saw him play centre half for Scunthorpe against Peterborough late 70s i think,and give the man his due hung around after and sighned Autographs for all the kids,one of mine included.

#99.............yes he also threw all his Clubs into a lake one time,after having a bad day............seen later by his mates up to his waist in the lake,cussing and swearing as he tried to retrieve em............lol.
