[CHOPWORM HERO]

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?

[CHOPWORM HERO]

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

[trypewriter]

I think I can see Bill Stroud in there?

[trypewriter]

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

[bill yards]

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

[MarkV]

Blimey, knew most of 'em lol

[NoCarpPlease]

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?

[trypewriter]

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

[bill yards]

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
