Burns is one as well isn't he? Read a good article in the Times on how the school began to nurture such talent. Obviously long after your time

Too true. Mind you, quite who was coaching them to move around in the crease like that I don't know. Of the three, we've got two who can't stand still and one (Roy) who's incapable of moving his feet at all.

To be fair, I don't think it was an actual child and his exact words were: “Say it to me outside the ground you fúcking four-eyed little c**t”

Unless, of course, he was actually offering a small child out - which would be very funny.

Not necessarily. He can be a bit tetchy. Anyway, it's all a bit of fun.
