Didn't he at least go home for his tea?
That 10 bob he originally spent getting in the ground lasted a bloody long time.

Turquoisey/blue three wheeler disabled cars behind the sticks.

Play getting held up while they caught the stray dog on the pitch.

Collars tucked in, shorts and sleeves rolled up as far as they could go - always a good ploy to make scrum halves look 'hard'.

if we are talking about the memories of peoples youth and assume there are many people in their fortys on here, then how about GB beating australia in a test series.

i only ever sneaked into sheddings once...and i only did it because my dad bet me i could'nt


he took my season ticket off me,emptied my pockets so i had no money to pay to get in and bet me £5 that i would'nt get in....at the time ORLFC had just sold our training pitch and houses where being built on it,so i found myself a ladder and got over the wall between the clubhouse and the grayhound track, i walked out from behind a tree,pretending to zip up my fly to make it llo like i'd just been for a pee


easiest £5 i ever made


other sheddings memories...

climbing up the floodlights to "get a better view" and laying ontop of the concrete dugouts to watch the game...

and i once throw a snowball at martin offiah
