Neil Davies rang me up a couple of days ago. It was my first conversation with him since 1960. He was the lad that hatched a plot with Burnsey [Alan Burn] to get me out during an informal game of cricket. Having refused to accept an lbw decision [I was too far down the pitch - it was drifting to leg] from them they pretended to have me caught by wicket keeper Neil D. It was my bat so I went home. All the way to 42 Whitehouse Court. I did not cry Neil.
On a serious note how much can I say? It is not for me to say where Neil lives but I can say the following:
If he were to support his local football team he could get a season ticket for about 90 pounds.
His team were in the Football League a few seasons ago and hope to get back to it fairly soon.
It is not a brief journey from his home to the Derby County ground but on the other hand he would not be tired and frazzled on arrival at the ground.
