Simple Match Fishing Forum

How many can we name this time.............?

Tis Cofton Hackett !
Barry Brookes, Ken Smith, Kevin Ashurst, Ken Giles, Tony Scott, Clive Smith, Max Winters.
Seeing as Kingfisher is on it he can name the rest !

Back in the late 70s early 80s I used to have a Ken Smith 9 1/2 foot leger rod made by Rodrill. Is that the same Ken Smith in the pic? Also if he`s the one with the Benny Hill glasses and the top of his y fronts showing no wonder I never caught anything with it?

Mullarkey, Ken I think is the one with a fag on and the cardigan next to that bloke !

I think I can see Bill Stroud in there?

Not sure if I can't see Austin Clissett as well, and maybe LLoyd Davies

Front

Tony Rees (Worksop before BAA) Jim Boleyn (not sure) Clive Smith; Boz Simmonds; Bill Stroud; Lloyd Davies

Back: Max Winters; Barry Brooks/Austin Clissett; Tony Scott; God; Ken Giles; Ken Smith

Don't know him on the left or the silver haired bloke hidden,---- Good old Cofton days

Can I have me squatt in a placcy bag, I'm running short of 'em

Blimey, knew most of 'em lol

should have saved that one for Movember, given the great Tache that Clive Smith is sporting.

is this pic pre Toulson era then?

Clive's "championship match fishing: ten of the best" is my favourite fishing book, even though it all pre-dates my match fishing, which started in 1984.

I always think of Shaky as the natural successors to Cofton, but is that just because of the ken & clive association?

I wonder if that guy that is hidden was Naughton Dunne?

I wonder if that guy that is hidden was Naughton Dunne?

Could be; I think he signed for them after he left the Crazy Gang

Unless I'm dreaming it, sure i can remember your dad featuring on ATV with Terry Thomas fishing from a boat. Might have been piking? If I'm right, and again didnt dream it, he lost a good un cuss the end of his big cigar caught the line and ping went the line........
