YOU posted it, then, as I've posted before needed to be told by at least two posters before accepting it was "probably was a bit clumsily written and in poor taste" I've just removed my quote so as not to add to it. Hope thats OK with you? Edited August 10, 2022 by Greavsy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it were about the 1925 incident it might have been amusing, but I'd not considered that his mates/any siblings are probably only in their early 60s like many posters on here. Fair play, I simply got that one a bit wrong. Edited August 10, 2022 by TeemuVanBasten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got that one a bit wrong. Respect for that, got there eventually. Just a pointy of order, I was out to work in 1985, and am, nearer 50 than 60! 😊 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The incident 100% happened. David Sadler, 24 years old of Caister, was the victim. I believe that a collection for his family was taken at a subsequent home match.
