Brammie Steve Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Cartlidge? Don't talk to me about cartilidge! At the tender age of 71 I have torn my right cartilidge. Most of my mates played rugby at Burton Grammar and ended up with 72 year old knees at 18 so I suppose I've done OK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobdeBilder Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Not a quote about BC, but not longer after he arrived in Derby he played in a charity game at RR recreation ground. I live about 200 yards from there so popped down. Anyway, it was a typical charity game, no one trying to hard, until BC's team got a corner. The right winger (as he would be called then) wacked over a really hard,high ball, the other players just stood and watched. Not BC. He had started running as the corner was hit and I have never seen anyone jump that high to head a ball. It hit the crossbar and shot about 30 feet in the air before dropping behind the goal. The main thing though was the sound as he headed it. It was a loud crack, like a well hit cricket ball. There were other ex players on the pitch but only one was trying to win.

Van der MoodHoover Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 BC appeared unannounced at my grandmother's funeral in 1994. Didn't say anything, just sat at the back on his own then left without a word. He'd known her husband who died in 1973 well. Hadn't seen her since his death but paid his respects anyway. Bit odd really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
