discussion Laurie's wot I did and did not score

[Guest]

Cricket mad in my teens until 21 then met Pauline.

Played for and captained West Surrey Schoolboys. Had a trial for Surrey got to last eight so sad was I. Thought life had ended.

I am the one on the left. Ha Ha. Sometimes I smiled in those days but cricket was a serious business. 1956

Maybe you didn't make the big time, but you tried.

Lots of people don't get that opportunity or can't be bothered to try.

You still have memories

Nice one Laurie, you were quite the sportsman by the sounds of things.

 

[Guest]

Only cricket Joe mediocre at all other sports. But I tried them all and enjoyed the experience very much. I could not have had better youth years.
