Yeah, and you were a rubbish batsman; fell for the leg-trap every time.

When the season changed from cricket to rugby (via whip-and-top and hopscotch) me and a lad called Chris whose father was the local window cleaner, invented the run-around from the scrum base (on Thornville Road), honed it to perfection, only to have it pinched by Lewis Jones and Colin Evans up t'road who claimed it as their own. They later incorporated Ken Thornett into the move when we threatened 'em with a patent violation.

Not me!

Its on the Leeds Back In The Day facebook group if anyone wants to see it.

Is this one of the photos that turned up recently from the 1940s where some random Ministry with random cash in the budget and a random RAF plane and hi-def camera after the war decided to photograph every square inch of the UK, then years later when no-one was bothered about the collection they offered it to all of the various counties in England for their own safe keeping and most of them refused except West Yorkshire ?

Can't even remember where I read that now - probably on this thread if I could be d looking.
