Seem to remember him having one of the first Amorphous Whisker 16m poles. Let me have a waggle with it on a Super league match on the 16 foot.

Steve Canty
Steve Kucharski
What is it with all these missing Steve's?

Pretty sure Steve Clark still fishes.
If it is the one I'm thinking off I think he crappity smack team fishing off

Correct Bill he goes carping now at Hallcroft etc was big mates with maggot aka Steve Keyworth

A few more.

Some of my old Yale team mates.

Barry Chaplian,
Ron Stacey,
Andy Allen,
Roger Parnell,
Dick Wade.

Ron Stacey still pleasure fishes but not so much since his heart trouble.
Andy Allen still fish's makins winter league.(Still wins loads !)
Roger goes all the time !!! but local carp lakes and white acres.
Barry packed up years ago.
Dick packed up about 3/4 years ago and now goes to watch Leicester City with Steve Crocker.
Steve W. does not fish anymore.
Steve Clarke still goes to Hallcroft, but at the weekends he watches his lad who is a high league Rugby player.
Kim Milsom actually does odd articles in Bird Watching Magazines !
The last time I saw Steve Canty fish was on the Stainforth and Keadby Canal in a National about 8/9 years ago !! I think that did him ! (top trent angler on the stick float back in the day).
It's sad when anglers fade away, but a few come back eh Kingfisher !
