The Giles brothers were also joint managers of my team and they were real characters. Spent an evening with Derek Tapscott when he was invited along as a guest for a game against Barry and Ron Stitfall gave me a bottle of wine he won in the raffle because he didn't drink. Ronnie Bird was often around as well because players in those days frequently stayed involved in local football. More recently, Derek Brazil was a great bloke and finally, I sat next to Brian Clark at a rugby international - he said he loved the atmosphere!
