He had the same build and colour hair as my dad, you could tell they were brothers. If you saw two young kids running around that would have been me and my brother, he took us training with them all the time, I've got a photo of the team somewhere I'll see if I can dig it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
