And I'll have a bird for the table as well, please, Brian.
What bird, madam?
Pheasant, please ... 'erm', do you think I could I have the one on the right?
Certainly, madam.
Thankyou.
And my thanks to you, too.

He played for Huddersfield, Peter. A total Gentleman. If I remember correctly he lived in Leyland Mill Lane
A house set back on the right hand side as you went down the brew.

I knew Brian and his wife very well from going in the KEEPERS pub. I didn't know he had died though.. AI hadn't seen him for a few years I presumed he had retired as the last time I was talking to him he said that is what he intended doing...
