I sold him that. It actually says "Bell end".

I agree. However it has oft been mentioned that a number of RL players are unlikely candidates to win Mastermind.

Indeed he did.

Problem was of course that he did not develop - or retain - the next generation.

I played for an amateur team who, in their day, were a match for most. We never bothered with juniors because we thought it would never end. The club folded about 10 years ago.

Like Sharlston Rovers will.
