Not 1 single photo of me or predentation on the school stage, like the rugger lads had when they recieved their special Cardiff schools rugby tie.
Quite correct, the photo ‘hall of fame’ outside the boys hall in my time didn’t have a round ball in sight. No mention of Chinaglia, who was a few years before me, might have been some truth in the rumour, which grew more tasty over the years, that he gave our ‘favourite teacher’ a clip under provocation.
