Hello Brian Divall,
After 20-odd years of trying to find you, I've finally met with success!
The last time we met was at the Bristol County Ground Cricket Club for the Club's Annual Dinner, back in the early 1980's.
How are you keeping? My rugby-playing days finished in France in 1973, so you out-lasted me!
A few names on the 'Park Website which bring back memories - Ken Tyrell, Roy Phillips, Frank Nesbitt, Roger Evans, Derek Griffiths, Ron Peters, John Nutton, Mike Fry, Malcolm Jordan, Pete Frost, Leon Quick, John Hellings, Chester Ardis, and the late Dave Jones.
Plenty more to conjure with from the "good old days" - Dai Brown, Noel Davies (who could afterwards describe every daisy he ran around during a match), Ian Barnes, Bob Arbury, Wynne Buckley, and of course Stan Smith, Robbie, Len Diggines, Ivor Johns, and many others whose names I can't recall at the moment.
It's now 7.15 pm. I tried to ring John Nutton earlier. Found his 'phone number on the Internet. He's out at the moment, but his wife (who I've never met) said his is due back around 8 o'clock. I'll let you know how I get on with the little Yorkshireman!
Would be glad to hear from anyone who remembers me.
