@patmurphybbc Have you considered writing a Substack or something similar, Pat? Still remember your Birmingham Post columns - they were terrific.

@patmurphybbc The good old days when you were waxing lyrical about football mainly in the Midlands. And then there's the cricket and a tour of the country with England who at times batted so badly you almost got an entire show on 5live to yourself "There's been a wicket at the cricket Pat" 😀

@patmurphybbc BBC would be mad to give up your knowledge Pat.

@patmurphybbc Like the Burnley match on Saturday 🙄 Let’s hope we some goals for The Mighty 🍒. BTW … really miss you delivering your take on proceedings on those match days.

@patmurphybbc Couldn’t agree more Pat… but it’ll have to be catch up for me… at a VERY important game at Dean Court.

@patmurphybbc Handshake and a pat on the back …..this shows how it’s done.. youtube.com/watch?v=BXUdGP… Interesting watching this again New Zealand would have had two yellows from the TMO following this try for high tackles … Was a man’s game back then 😂

@patmurphybbc @WorcsCCC A fine Shropshire Lad.




Simmo again, wearing methinks a few more sweaters than in this morning's image - it can't have been straightforward when, as here, he was batting with @harv366, who was greased lightning between the wickets - btw who's the 'keeper - very familiar but I can't put a name to him

Does this really merit a place on a rugby field ? The history and traditions of the game would suggest not. Its not football.

He lost his sight in later years but such was his understanding of the game and the companions he chose (Fingleton, SF Barnes) that he was still able to critique Cowdrey at Edgbaston, 1961 for not deploying a deep point for Neil Harvey.

That Chelsea huddle with the ref in the middle: The people’s verdict What a pile of horse shit.
