Nice memories of Jackie. On the side, I was in the same class at Beamont as Alistair Brindle and I still shiver at the thought of trying to tackle him during class sports !!!!
played a few games with Jackie in the early 60 great scrum-half was just unlucky to be around in Alex murphy era otherwise, he would have won international honours and toured. Jackie was as tough as they come the bigger they were the harder they fall was jackie way of thinking alway liked him he was my type of man
