Started of booking by getting to and from on a bike
Ended up in a Roller .
Once took a bet of 100k at 2/1 on horse called Magic Ring at Royal Ascot , never even altered the price , it won , cost him 200k , never flinched , you would have thought he had just paid out a tenner ! A superb bookie , shrewd and fearless !

The old bill chased my brother but he lost them in the beer tent ! Henerita was one of the best killers of a hare I ever saw there , fast up and killed them very quickly , took my money off Stephen Little , nearly 400 , but he still went home in the Bentley and fur coat ! I have my card from the last day , signed by the slipper and judge , proudly framed on my wall .

Max , you wouldn't remember us but it was my brother who you asked for a light to light your " ball of mud " ...........and yes it did make them scatter !!!
Fond memories , never seen so much tweed on a dancefloor as you used to get at the Scarisbrick
disco !! Remember the year Henerita won it , we backed her from the first round all the way
through to the final , she killed her hare in every round including the final , paid the hotel
bill she did !

Remember him turning up at a show in a brand new Subaru with the reg plate LGF 1 , .............told me he had brought car and the plate .....on way home I passed him in a lay by , putting the proper plates on , turns out car was on test drive !! A character which the game needs from time to time !

Gnash , Jim as game as they come ! I have a DVD of the first Benn v Eubank fight , Jim is commentating , all he keeps saying is " This is a war , this is a war ! " , really funny to listen too !
Yokel , I have a mate who was fighting out of the Ingle camp at same time as Naz fell out with him , he said they fell out over 50k corner money , which when you think of the money they earned between them was peanuts ! I saw Naz 2nd pro fight ,on the Benn v Malinga undercard in Brum , he fought the 1st round with one arm behind his back then ko"d the lad in 2nd when he liked ................was an amazing talent but once again took bad advice .

Darbo , cheers for putting the Cowdell KO on , he doesn't even tee him up with a jab , its just an uppercut on the button , Nelson was too powerful at that weight for most fighters , Pat was out cold before he hit the canvas !

I was pulled over on M6 on a Sunday on way back from a rugby match and told my car was marked for rural crime , few days later had a letter saying my car had been seen in daytime parked on a lane and a member of the public " thought I may be going to commit a crime as I had a lurcher " !!! , I was on public footpath , the land holds no game , but he decided I was about to commit a crime ! Police said the markers on cars are reviewed every 28 days and removed if no more info on the car has come to light ...........not that I believe them as I also know someone who after getting pulled a long way from home in his 4th vehicle since the first marker was told the mark moves with the name of the owner not the registration , which I can believe .

RIP , A true pro of the coursing game , Max as you say some great craic in that disco in the Scarry after the call over , never seen so much tweed being worn on a dancefloor ever before or since !

Ray . yes dogs fine and lad still playing rugby , playing for Moseley this season

Ray its bloody frustrating , the brindle bull x I had ate his kennel , I covered it with a mix of chilli , mustard , etc ..............he ate it and stood there licking his lips and wagging his tail , so I muzzled him ...............he got it off and ate it ! He did eventually stop it ..............but was then killed out lamping !!!

Some land I used to walk always gave us more runs at dusk than dawn in fact , hardly saw one first thing !

Gnash , don't know if you agree but its easier to pull stunts in the amateurs than in pros ! .............My nephew has just turned 11 and has had 2 fights recently , 1w , 1l ,thing is he has been in the gym 2/3 nights per week since he was 6 , so he was a very experienced " starter " a bit unfair on his opponent to be honest , he lost his 2nd fight to a disgracefull " home show " decision in Coventry , even the winners father apologised for it ! My son once boxed a lad who had a new boxing card due to he was English but had become Muslim so changed his name , he was supposed to have had only 2 fights but it was obvious he had had a lot more , my lad got done on a split decision but the winner went on to take silver in the Tri Nations , so he was obviously a class act , then there was the night my lads opponents corner through the towel in as my lad was warming up on the pads , and gave us £200 to " go home quietly " ! There lad held the Regional belt and they didn't want him losing it infront of his own towns supporters .................anyway we had the money and didn't go quietly , and it all got rather naughty !

Cant see England getting a lot out of NZ , the NZ backrow have 260 caps between the 3 of them , its a pretty daunting task , never mind , I am going to the Samoa game so looking forward to the next couple of weeks anyway .

I had a 1/4 bull x 1/4 foxhound greyhound , 26 tts , coat like a wire brush , head like a bucket , immense jaw power , he never hunted up on lamp ., was hard as nails , if I could have one dog back it would be him , caught anything from rabbits to stags , never seen a dog with such little emotion , he would just shake it once , drop it and walk away !

First time I had them , I was at work , managed to get home , paramedics came and wanted to take me in but my lad was boxing on the night so I rode it out and went to watch him , I looked terrible , was a shade of yellow . Second time I went in the ambulance , passed out in agony , took 2 morphine jabs to ease it , spent weekend in hospital , pain was unbearable , still got it in my kidney as they say its too small to laser , its like walking round with a timebomb in you , never knowing when its going to fire up again !

I gave up funding the promoters Range Rover years ago ! Apart from that the atmosphere has gone , the lurcher ring is full of women who I find hard to believe that spend their nights walking round muddy fields with a lamp ! As most things nowadays , money has taken over and ruined it .
