shefcanary 3,081 Posted October 12, 2021 Sad to hear of the death of Trevor Hemmings. The owner of Preston, although wealthier than Smith & Jones, his ownership approach was in a similar vein of not throwing cash about willy nilly. More importantly from my perspective, I've won quite a lot of money from following his horses (he was a major national hunt horse owner). The reason for choosing his horses in the first place however was close to NCFC. His silks were yellow and green quarters, with white sleeves! A three time Grand National winning owner, it was a pleasure to see those colours romp past the winning line (Norwich even won that weekend as well once, doubling the winnings). A very humble man, given the colours he chose, you do wonder what kind of owner he might have been at Norwich? Given the recent developments in the EPL, I think this is a sad loss for the EFL. You do hope he has mapped out his legacy; it will be interesting what happens now at PNE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He owned Ballabriggs, the horse responsible for my biggest ever win on the horses he won the Grand National in 2011. Only £300, I'm not much of a gambler, but it's enough to make me like him. RIP.

Besthorpe-48 116 Posted October 13, 2021 Yes another great sportsman. Hope whoever inherits keeps the yellow and green quarters. Probably cost me a lot of money but there you go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
