He’ll correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Alan’s first league hundred for the club was against Radcliffe/Ezra at Crimble. There can’t be many amateurs who can say that and it is testament to how well he played quick bowling (which you needed to in those years). Also, I seem to remember the wet fish incident at Middleton was as a result of Fare going on a fishing holiday for 2 days that week and catching absolutely nothing. My abiding memory of that day…and many others with Alan, is of his trademark laugh, shoulders shaking uncontrollably and tears in his eyes. Mark- it may even have been the same day you were run out and your momentum only halted near the far sight screen by a knee slide on all-fours. Great memories Al, it was a pleasure and privilege to have shared a lot of them with you.
