then it was my turn to bowl, i think it was about my 4 delivery, a big long hop, he played way to early and it bowled him, i was ecstatic and the whole team inc- raiders were happy, as this great man destroyed teams in no time at all :-)

I actually knew Neil Radford, the South African, I used to be friendly with a landlord in Padiham (forgot the name) the guy was called Lawry, His Daughter was a nurse and had worked in SA and she came home and met up with Neil, I think they actually got married, but not sure. I also met Collis King, he did a presentation for the Pendle Pool League in around 1983 at the Fence Gate
