RIP Tony Grieg, always remember him saying around 1976 saying that he'll make the West Indies ''grovel'' then they smashed us 5-0 (I think), also remember that we brought back Brian Close (who had played for us) at the age of 45, a right tough bastard who got his body in the way of bouncers etc... (this was before helmets and all the stuff they wear today)
