1st April...
« on: Mon 27 Mar 2023 12:51 »
I wonder if we are going to see some of the funny name puns in this Saturday's appointments, as they used to do back in the 1990s.

I recall linesmen Ryan & Griggs and Smith & Wesson off the top of my head.

I attended a game where John Brandwood was the referee, with Messrs Brand & Wood on the line.

Or will that sort of humour not be allowed in more sanitised times?

Brilliant work from John Treleven and others.  Thank you.   I particularly like    Hair  Brown  Gray,   Speedie  Fox  Hunt,  and the champion of them all  Joyce  Isherwood  Shaw.

I seem to recall in times past there was a Baker  Butcher  Butler   but not sure in which order.
