Miscellaneous	"This is probably an ex-player profile - I haven't exactly hung up my boots but they fell apart the last game I played and I think I should take the hint.". Editors Comment One season, AT played every position on the field (OK, so only loose head but its propping isn't it !) and rarely complained at any of them. One of the Clubs stalwarts, a treasurer (sometimes reluctantly) for many, many seasons and someone who would always help out whatever the task. Always gave his all on the pitch, father time has now caught up and his boots are hung up. Often caught on International Weekends and sking holidays with Holty, some people are gluttons for punishment !
