Seeing Young Robby there on the Chatham bill makes me wonder whether Mick had the audacity to put the tag on second?
May's a good month with all the Cup Final days and the RAH spectaculars, hoping many to come over the next few days from Big Al?
Two birthdays to celebrate today.
Happy birthday Tony Kelly and Spencer Churchill.
Still looking for Borratti and Wild Tarzan.
I think this must have been the Cup Final Day tv show with McManus seconding Logan. Quite an accolade to Starr and nicely setting up the subsequent RAH closed circuit spectacular.
They really could plan at the top level - but just gave up any lower down.
