Bushbaby   11 #853 Posted November 10, 2010 Bloody hell - what a memory. Bernard Atkins - we were speaking about him the other day, he taught me to play crib!  I was there the night he died. Had a coughing fit while going for double 16, went out for a breath of fresh air, sat on the little fence and.. well, that was it.

GW2010   10 #856 Posted November 10, 2010 Yeah Walt was lovely guy. He didn't have a chair in those days but was quite severley palsied. Watching him light a fag was always interesting as he had to co-ordinate in a way which was very difficult for him - never heard him complain though  Did you ever play golf with him...he was amazing. Had a couple of rounds with him and some mates in a park ( forgot name...think it was near Shiregreen club...or mabe confused with something else). He also had his own puttng course in his back garden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
