How long supporting Sarries? Regularly since mid-late 90’s

First ever Sarries game? Sarries vs Barf, Bramley Road, circa 1989(?). I remember us winning about 10-9 or something and the Rugby Special cameras being there. Highlight was seeing Nigel Starmer-Smith climb into the commentary box.

Best Ever Sarries game? Sarries vs Falcons, 1998, at VR – I can still see the drop goal from Lynagh going over now…….

Favourite Sarries Experience off the pitch? Colomiers away this year; meeting and chatting to Tim Horan was pretty special too.

How did you start supporting Sarries? Just turned up one day and got hooked

What are your non-rugby pastimes? Sport, playing and watching; footie, cricket, golf (17 h’cap), softball, horses, greyhounds, anything really…..

Leat Likely to Say? Horan was never any good was he?
