Douglas, Bryan When Bryan came to work at Star Paper ltd in his 50s I think, we played 7 aside against the firm's Barnsley Mill side. As a young 20 something I was in awe when he walked across to me and whispered, ... there's no offside rule cock, go stand by the goal posts. He then worked his magic and skilfully punched ball after ball to me, so accurately he made me look like a star as I punched them in the net. Such a gent, one of my heroes.
