Grachan Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 Don't know why, but memories of this guy came into my head today. He had dark, curly hair and seemed to be at just about every meeting I went to back in the 70s. He used to carry a tray of pens and would hold up his fingers to give the price if ever you bought one. Anyone else remember him? No reason, just curious. (It's definitely a sign of getting old when you start getting nostalgic about a bloke selling pens!!)

Wackie Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 I remember him Grachan, although only at Smallmead & Blunsdon, thought he came from Swindon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted July 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 Maybe that's why I always used to see him then! He also used to regularly turn up at World Championship events too, which is maybe where I got the impression he was omnipresent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SURREYDON Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 Can remember seeing him at Wimbledon think he may have had some connection with the old Bristol Bulldogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a reegular at many meetings down south. I saw him a lot at White City in 76/77. Used to go to all the London Tracks every week from Coventry on the old 2 pounds return fare after 4pm - Now anybody remember that train fare! From Coventry in the 70's!
