I think your right brian,its a name that just escaped me.perhaps one of the gays on the photo will remember.the gay the on back row secend from end from the right is denis reed.

It is George Boon between me and franky is the pub the Seven Stars Thomas Frodshams stag do.

John I don't even think that George Boon is on this photo, the lad between you and Frank Dalimore is Roy Sherrington? Oh and Tommy gay don't you mean guy ha ha ha.
