Jay, we must just have missed each other as I joined up in '61 and he got injured in a car crash soon after that.
Gilchrist was the one that frightened me - think he went to jail for attacking his wife with a poker - played for Bacup or one of the other Rossendale clubs.
As for attacking the bowler/pitcher - well, if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
