Being Sherwood born I spent 30 years living and working in Blaenafon, I could never get over the number of top class sportsman in the Cambrian Inn on a Friday night . Such a small town but , the talent ! Must be something in the water plus buckets full of winberries lol.

I was on the piss-sodden East Terrace in 1983 to witness Pooler and Dai Bish giving Swansea a rugby Masterclass

I was at the Newport v Swansea final. Always peaved at the fact that the ref was affiliated to Swansea at the time. Biased or what’s?

My geography teacher played for newport during the 70s. I've never known a more sadistic bully of a teacher who would attack me on a daily basis for no reason at all his name was brian lease and I had to put up with his abuse for two years

[@iainclark5964]

Those of us at school in the late 70s and early 80s all had experience of these animals. No vocation whatsoever for teacher and a deep hatred of children and young people. Many were ex soldiers with deep mental health problems who should never been allowed in teaching.

Great player

[@celticwarrior1365]

How Dickie didn't respond to Bishop's head butt on him can, as far as Iam concerned, only be explained by the presence of Pooler protector and nutcase John Perkins on the field of play at the time!

[@jboardy5439]

Not just Perky... Gordon Bennet the field was fully headers...
