Played 1952 (whilst at St Benedicts) until 1963 (would have played more frequently but for National Service and Durham University).

Brother in law of Martin Nolan - past Captain, and son in law of Gerry Nolan - past President. Fellow brother in law of George Priechenfried.

Played for A and Extra A plus two seasons in 1st under John Mallinson and Terry Connor while David Chambers was away.

Sang Tenor ‘In the Moonlight’ and Bass in ‘Swing Low’.

Michael Green signed my copy of his book ‘to the coarsest scrum half I ever played with’. I like to believe he only half meant it.
