Not joining but returning

Post by chris » Thu Dec 22, 2011 1:34 pm

Stopped posting here a couple of years ago when I didn't have quite so much time.

Have been lurking for the last couple of months, and my username still works, so have decided to join in again.

Am still in the footballing wilderness of Devon. Not many chances to get up to Bolton, but still try to see a couple of games a season.

Yes, there was.
Also a Jamaican baseball player who bounced around the major leagues including a stop in Toronto. Popular name apparently.

I remember too. The jockey was Dick Francis, later a novelist. I always understood Devon Loch saw a fence on the track next to him and tried to jump that, but that could be my faulty memory.
