Actively 7 years, admired from afar since mid 80’s

Best ever Sale Sharks game

Favourite Sale Sharks experience off pitch

• The Party in the Concrete monstrosity after Bic Biro win 2005.

• Chewing the fat with Mike Hercus on 2 occasions

• Being presented with signed shirt from SSSC committee as my going away present
