Very sad news, a very good man and as Dave Horne said to me 'The archetypal gentle giant'. We shared a flat in North Common Road, with hot and cold running water, most of the cold water running down the walls. A real Dump. On the Rugby field Adrian was a very, very good Tight Head Prop, probably of a higher standard than Ealing, at that time, but also very lazy, probably a worst trainer than me, honest. We used to use the Usha Indian Restaurant, a favourite of many of us who lived in Ealing at the time, Adrian and I, stupidly, always tried to out do each other about who could eat the hottest curry, they were mostly uneatable and eventually called a truce as we were obviously wasting money, and we also needed to eat something. I believe it was Paul Morgan who gave him the nickname Hairdryer, which was a play on the name Adrian in a welsh accent, Rest in Peace big man. and well done to Bev for saving him from us.
