Hi Andy,
I'm sure there are a few on here that remember your dad. I fished against him and Cofton Hackett many moons ago in the West Mids Winter League and other comps.
We had a relative young side in those days called Stafford Trotters and slowly improved in that league, not to Cofton's high standards though.
He might remember me, - I was the really good looking one, Tony Keeling

Hi Andy,I knew your dad when I was a kid as my uncle Bob Evans was good friends with your dad and fished for the Cofton too along with Steve Freeman who worked in the shop.

Can't say I ' knew' him, but certainly remember him in his Cofton days. Remember fishing next to him in a match at Tewkesbury and visited the shop on a few occasions.
Had a very early (fibreglass) Lerc telescopic pole from him as a lad.

Hi Jean - not sure if Andy will pick this up - I sent him a message in March with a link to a picture of his dad that I posted in 'all our yesterdays'. The message remains unread and I've just checked, he hasn't been online since Feb......
