George Roper out of George and Mildred

I've been waiting for him.

Had a few drinks with him years ago. Brilliant angler and he was a great chap and top company.

I won't tell ye who it is in case I've got it wrong but he has the same name as a famous newsreader.

He represented England before the World , - there was some kind of European match they could enter, I believe he first fished it in 1948.

Happy days; in his very late years he turned up at Swarkestone for the Trent Opens, - he did well in them.
