Leathers

Recommended Posts

I have some great memories of Leicester too. When I first started going to New Cross in 1960, New Cross were losing everything. Bottom of the League, kncoked out the National Trophy in the first round etc.

 

But then on 8 June, we met Leicester and won 53-37. The sweet smell of success for a change. Yes, I have a lot to thank Leicester for..... :)

 

Now then, back to leathers....

Did you go to the last Leicester Reunion Madbiker? (The John Boulger one.)

I think I saw someone who looked like a mad biker - long hair, black leathers - or it could have been Ray Wilson....... :D

:) Back to modern times - Seemond Stephens' kevlars have to be recorded. Always creative. individual and showmanlike. Not mentioning the time when he and Lol Hare donned black suits over their kevlars a couple of seasons back.

I remember buying the chequered leathers of Willy, & picking them up from his mechanic's house one Saturday morning. In the afternoon I answered a knock on the door to find Ray standing there asking if he could borrow them back because he'd forgotten his own & was on his way to Kings Lynn. If I recall correctly he scored 10 points in his last meeting in them. :D

Well, put it this way. If he wore a red suit on Christmas Eve he would be a dead ringer for Father Christmas. :P
